SUHR CLASSIC ANTIQUE METALLIC

LIMITED EDITION

Our popular Classic Antique model is now available in 6 dazzling vintage-inspired nitro metallic finishes. These attention-grabbing finishes add a touch of elegance to any guitar and the Classic Antique is no exception!

SUHR MODERN

IMPECCABLE QUALITY, LEGENDARY PERFORMANCE

The Classic Antique Metallic features a Maple neck and Indian Rosewood fingerboard. The neck is tinted and finished in nitro-cellulose lacquer giving it an authentic vintage look and feel.

SUHR MODERN

Neck Features

NECK PROFILE

EVEN C MEDIUM (.840″-.920″)
The Classic Antique 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 Antique 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. The Classic Antique features a lightly aged nitrocellulose lacquer finish.

SUHR MODERN

Body Features

TONE WOODS

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

BODY FINISH

Finished in an extremely thin nitro-cellulose lacquer that features natural checking and aging.

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.

SUHR MODERN

Hardware & Electronic Features

GOTOH 510

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 CONFIGURATION

The ML (Mike Landau) Standard single-coil pickup is overwound for more output and sustain and features our proprietary modified staggered pole piece design to provide an even magnetic field. The SSV has a broad sonic aperture with very little compression, making for a dynamic, vintage output humbucker.

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.
