Everything You Need to Know About Suhr Electric Guitars

Founded by John Suhr in 1997, JS Technologies Inc., more commonly known simply as Suhr Guitars, is a California-based musical instrument and equipment manufacturer that specialises in creating electric guitars, bass guitars, amplifiers, and effect pedals. In particular, Suhr electric guitars are known for their precise design, high sound quality, and excellent craftsmanship. Thanks to eBay, you can make one of these fantastic instruments your own and start rocking out.

Suhr electric guitars are almost always built according to individual customer specifications. However, there are a number of options available:

• Standard: Guitars in the Standard series are loosely based on the shape of the Fender Stratocaster. The two main models in the series are the Standard Plus and the Pete Thorn Signature. They come with a C slim neck made of either roasted maple or pau ferro, stainless steel frets, and an SSCII hum cancelling system.
• Classic: This series is based closely on the shape of the Fender Stratocaster. The main model here is the Classic S. It comes with either a maple or an Indian Rosewood fretboard, a C standard neck, stainless steel frets, a Gotoh 510 tremolo system, and a SSCII hum cancelling system.
• Classic T: This series is based closely on the shape of the Fender Telecaster. The guitars here have a C standard neck, stainless steel frets, a Wilkinson compensated three-saddle bridge, and an SSCII hum cancelling system.
• Classic JM: This series is based closely on the shape of the Fender Jazzmaster and is optimally suited for jazz playing. Classic JM guitars can come with either two S90 pickups or two Suhr SSV humbucking pickups. They also come with either a Gotoh 510 Tremolo or a TonePros Tune-o-Matic bridge.
• Modern: The main models in this series are the Suhr Modern, the Modern Plus, and the Modern Satin. They have maple necks with pau ferro fretboards and stainless steel frets. They are meant to imitate the design of a 24-fret Superstrat.
• Modern T: The Modern T series is similar to the modern series but has more of a Telecaster-like body.

Besides electric guitars, Suhr also manufactures pickups, pedals, amplifiers, and guitar carrying cases that you can buy as supplemental accessories to your guitar. Many of these will be also be found in eBay listings for Suhr electric guitars.
