SOLD - Suhr Classic Pro – USA 2018

SOLD

From Suhr –

"When our customers asked for an instrument with all the tone and playability of our Classic Antique, without the antiquing – we listened. The Classic Pro marries vintage design with modern improvements resulting in an instrument that is capable of producing iconic tones while retaining the build quality, features and playability you’ve come to expect from Suhr."

The Classic Pro features a Maple neck with your choice of Maple or Indian Rosewood fingerboard. The neck is tinted and finished with our satin acrylic urethane, which provides the smooth feel of natural wood as well as protection from moisture.

NECK PROFILE - EVEN C MEDIUM (.840″-.920″)
The Classic Pro is equipped with our Even C Medium profile. Rolled edges and a 9″-12” compound fingerboard radius offers a substantial, yet comfortable shape.

FRETS - MEDIUM STAINLESS STEEL (.055″ x .090″)
Stainless steel frets offer silky smooth bending and long-lasting playability. Every Suhr receives a PLEK fret dress, ensuring the best possible string action, playability and intonation.

CONTOURED HEEL - The contoured heel of the Classic Pro allows for easier access to the upper register. For optimum tone and stability, the neck joint must not be too tight or too loose, therefore all of our neck pockets are precisely fitted by hand, by expert craftsmen.
CLASSIC BODY SHAPE - This is the standard vintage shape that many of us grew up with and has the addition of a contoured heel where the neck bolts on for easy access to all the frets.

TONE WOODS - Alder is one of the most popular guitar body woods of the 1960’s and is favoured by blues and rock players for its strong, clear, full-bodied sound, with beefy mids and excellent lows.

BODY FINISH - Our finishing process provides an unparalleled combination of protection, beauty, and tone. Great care is taken to ensure that the thinnest possible layers of finish are applied. This allows the wood to resonate freely while still providing ample protection.

SSCII EQUIPPED - The SSCII is our proprietary silent single coil system. The SSCII is installed inside the body of the guitar and works with traditional single coil pickups. It reduces 60 cycle hum and has no impact on tone, no batteries to change – just transparent noise reduction.

HARDWARE & ELECTRONICS - The unique blend of locking tuners, a high performance bridge, and our proprietary SSCII noise reduction system creates the perfect combination of vintage tones with modern performance.

GOTOH BRIDGE - The Gotoh 510 tremolo bridge features dual steel knife edge pivot points to provide greater functionality and years of trouble free performance. The 510’s steel block increases sustain and tuning stability.

HSS PICKUP CONFIG - HSS with an SSV humbucker in the bridge position. The V60LP pickup is wound using a proprietary winding process that replicates the hand-wound pattern of some early-60’s single-coil pickups which have a natural roll off on the top end, imparting sweeter and rounder highs. Includes our SSCII noise reduction system.

SUHR LOCKING TUNERS - Equipped with staggered Suhr Locking Tuners, which provide an 18:1 gear ratio, improved tuning stability, and no need for a traditional string tree.

This Suhr Classic Pro was bought new by its one owner less than two years ago. It has been beautifully looked after and presents in as new condition. No apparent visible player wear, no changes and no issues. It features Suhr’s quite beautiful Sonic Blue finish which is subtle but alluring.

And it features Suhr’s excellent SSCII silent single coil system which just about eliminates the dreaded single coil hum common to Strat style guitars. These combine beautifully with the fat sounding bridge humbucker to produce a big sound that is still focused and punchy in the mids and tight in the lows.

The Classic Pro embodies the modernity and technology desired by the 21st century electric guitarist while encompassing the benefits of decades of guitar design and technology. Suhr guitars are renowned as instruments that owners treasure. Many a first-time Suhr owner has been surprised that the level of workmanship, build quality, sound and playability isn't twice the price of these beauties. This is a modern player's go-to guitar – style & finesse with power to burn.

Comes in its quality Suhr gig bag in new condition along with detailed factory spec sheet.
