Suhr Modern
Blue Whale Burst Finish, Thornbucker pickups, made in USA
My main guitar since around 2021 has been my beautiful Suhr Modern in blue whale burst finish. This is a fairly unique model as it has a few differences from the regular production models.
While this is a dual humbucker guitar, I get some really good split coil tones from it. Most of my sound actually comes from the neck pickup split.
My action is super super low, measuring at about 2/64” from the 12th fret, with very minimal relief in the neck. I surprisingly don’t deal with buzzing or dead frets, as it plays and sustains perfectly with my touch. This is one the most comfortable guitars I have played. Despite trying other instruments, I seem to always come back to this one as my main guitar.
Some of the specs of this instrument include:
- Flamed maple top (blue whale burst finish)
- Basswood body
- Roasted maple neck and fingerboard
- Suhr Thornbuckers pickups
- Volume + Tone (550k VIP pots)
- 5 way blade switch
- Suhr locking tuners
- Gotoh 510 trem
