Description

The Suhr Classic S - Sonic Blue is a masterfully crafted instrument that embodies vintage soul with modern precision. Its alder body, constructed from two pieces, is cloaked in a mesmerizing gloss Sonic Blue finish, exuding an effortlessly cool, timeless aesthetic. Thoughtfully sculpted arm, hand, and tummy contours ensure unparalleled playing comfort, making this guitar an extension of the player’s own movement.

A maple neck with a rosewood fretboard brings warmth and articulation, while the 60's C Vintage Standard neck profile (.810-.930) offers a sublime, broken-in feel. Finished with a subtle vintage tint, the neck radiates old-school charm. The 9" - 12" compound radius and standard fingerboard roll provide an optimal balance between effortless chording and seamless lead playing, while the clay side and face dots lend a classic touch.

Outfitted with 21 medium stainless-steel frets, this guitar promises durability and silky-smooth playability. The original headstock, adorned with a gold-fill, black-outlined decal logo, crowns the instrument with elegance, while a Tusq nut ensures tuning stability and impeccable tone transfer.

Under the hood, the Classic S is a tonal powerhouse. The Suhr 2-post locking saddles and steel block bridge deliver rock-solid tuning and remarkable sustain, complemented by chrome hardware and Gotoh Kluson tuners for a vintage aesthetic with modern reliability. The tortoise shell guard adds a striking contrast to the soft blue finish, housing an electrifying trio of pickups—V60LP Standard single coils in the neck and middle, known for their glassy, dynamic character, and an SSV humbucker in the bridge for searing, harmonically rich leads. With Suhr’s SSCII Electronics, hum is virtually eliminated, ensuring a pristine sonic experience.

Weighing in at 8 lbs 2 oz, this Classic S is lightweight yet resonant, delivering clarity, warmth, and vintage sparkle with every note. With a soft case included for protection, this instrument is ready for the stage, the studio, and everywhere in between—a true masterpiece built for the discerning guitarist.
