Soapbars of a different sort
From spacious full-range cleans on the neck pickup to raunchy rock ’n’ roll rhythms on the bridge, these pickups boast a midrange-rich voice with thumping lows and clear, pristine highs. What’s more, while traditional P-90 pickups are infamous for their tendency to hum, Suhr pairs its S90 pickups with the cutting-edge SSCII active noise-cancellation system, thus eliminating any unwanted noise while transparently preserving the S90’s complex single-coil character.
Smooth, stable 2-post tremolo
Equally capable of handling surfy sway, seasick shoegaze, and decked dive bombs, this guitar’s 2-post tremolo unit represents John Suhr’s modern update to an all-time classic tremolo design. Starting with a heavy-duty stainless steel base and machined steel saddles, Suhr’s 2-post tremolo features rock-solid locking studs to enhance sustain and provide players with the utmost tuning stability. Finally, the trem is finished off with a drilled steel block to maximize every drop of this guitar’s sustain and resonance.
Vintage-meets-modern maple neck
The Suhr Classic JM’s neck stands as exhibit A of the company’s unerring dedication to immaculate craftsmanship. It all starts with a stout shaft of maple in Suhr’s comfortable ’60s “C” Vintage Standard profile — a full yet comfortable shape with just enough chunk to please vintage fanatics. Topside, the 10 to 14-inch compound-radius rosewood fingerboard sings across the neck’s entire range thanks to Suhr’s exquisite fretwork, supplying smooth chording down low and buzz-free bends up high. Finally, the Suhr Classic JM’s medium-sized stainless steel frets shake off typical playwear without breaking a sweat, ensuring peak playability for years and years to come.
