Suhr Classic S 3 Tone Burst

The Suhr Classic S 3 Tone Burst that shows why this color combination has lasted for more than sixty years

There are few guitar finishes as timeless as a 3 Tone Burst on an S-type body. The Suhr Classic S in this finish fully expresses that feeling: vintage aesthetics, modern reliability, and playing comfort that far exceeds its price. This is not a piece of nostalgia. This is a working instrument for guitarists who know what they want.

The two V60LP single-coils and the SSV humbucker form a well-thought-out trio. The V60LP pickups sound open, clear, and dynamic, with that characteristic Strat chirp in the intermediate positions that you simply don't hear with inferior pickups. The SSV humbucker in the bridge position fills in the gaps: more body, more warmth, but never at the expense of articulation. The SSCII system keeps all single-coil positions free from hum, without compromising tone. The Gotoh 510 tremolo with steel block provides a smooth, stable arm response that keeps the guitar accurately in tune even after intensive tremolo use.

The body is made of Alder, the Tinted Maple neck has a 60's C Vintage Standard profile (.810"-.930") that feels comfortable and familiar in the hand, and an Indian Rosewood fretboard with a 9"-12" compound radius. The 22 Medium Stainless Steel frets (.055"x.090") offer a smooth playing experience and will hardly wear out. Volume, tone and a 5-way pickup selector, Suhr locking tuners, 25.5" scale, weight 3.67 kg, including gigbag.

Classic on the outside, modern on the inside. The Classic S 3 Tone Burst is built to be played, not to be hung behind glass.
