SUHR CLASSIC J ANTIQUE
The Suhr Classic J Pro is based on the iconic electric bass designs of the 1960’s. This shape has helped define the electric bass guitar for over half a century. The Classic J’s sleek frame, asymmetrical body shape, and slim vintage neck profile make for an instrument that combines vintage style with modern improvements.
IMPECCABLE QUALITY, LEGENDARY PERFORMANCE
From the thundering growl of Rock, to deep warmth of Jazz, to the percussive slap of Funk, the Classic J Pro is always the right choice.
Neck Features
NECK PROFILE
VINTAGE J (.810″-.930″)
