Wield with confidence
For the Modern Custom’s organic components, Suhr chose mahogany and maple — a Sweetwater-certified premier combo! Quilted maple slightly brightens your playing articulation for a subtle boost in clarity, promoting exquisite sonic results and, most noticeably, a curb appeal that just can’t be beaten! When shaped to an Even "C" Extra Slim neck carve and radiused from 10 to 14 inches down the fingerboard, the Modern Custom’s clearness and ease of navigation only further enhance your playing experience. From sky-high soloing and intricate arpeggiating to involved progressions and harmonic nuances, you’ll wield the Modern Custom with confidence on every occasion.
A dynamic HSH fleet
The Modern Custom’s pickup selection promises a wealth of possible tones! In the bridge position, a fan-favorite SSH humbucker speaks in smooth vintage tongues with a substantial output, added clarity, and improved dynamic sensitivity. The middle position provides a V63 model, which channels the drop-dead-gorgeous jangly tones of a legendary 1963 single-coil. Finally, at the neck position, an SSV humbucker supplies true vintage output with exceptional warmth, sustain, and midrange response. Conjure any combination to suit your sound via the 5-way selector switch, and effortlessly blend to taste with master Tone and Volume controls.
Adorned for any arrangement
Throughout the Modern Custom, Suhr left no detail unattended. Up at the headstock, each string checkpoints across a TUSQ nut up to a set of Suhr’s proprietary locking tuning machines. This respective combination of purified string response and steadfast intonation already guarantees pro-grade playability, whether you’re studio tracking or center-stage showcasing. Backing this performance peace-of-mind is a Suhr 2-post tremolo bridge down at the body, promising not only a dependable anchoring on the opposing end, but a means for exuberant sonic expressiveness.
Suhr: the pinnacle of craftsmanship, playability, and tone
Suhr doesn’t just build handcrafted, boutique-quality instruments and amplifiers — the company creates exceptional tools that fuel musical dreams and artistic passions. John Suhr began crafting custom guitars in the mid-1970s, and by the dawn of the 1980s, he was building made-to-order Pensa-Suhr instruments for a who’s who of top musicians. In the 1990s, John collaborated with celebrated rig builder Bob Bradshaw to design the now-legendary CAA 3+ and 3+SE preamps and the CAA OD-100 amplifier. In 1997, after a stint as senior master builder for Fender’s Custom Shop, John founded his own company, a decision that enabled him to bring to fruition products of unrivaled quality, detail, and craftsmanship. Today, the Suhr name is synonymous with prestige; a guitar, bass, or amplifier with the Suhr marque garners instant respect. With elite players such as Mateus Asato, Reb Beach, Scott Henderson, James Norbert Ivanyi, Andre Nieri, Pete Thorn, Ian Thornley, Doug Aldrich, and Andy Wood on the company’s roster, you can be certain that your Suhr places you in esteemed company.
