    For anyone curious about Suhr- I was recently turned on to Big Wreck- their lead guitarist Ian Thornley is a Big Suhr guy (guitars and amps). I highly recommend you search around RUclips for some of his guitar stuff. A great track to start with is the live version of “albatross” which was actually performed at a Suhr corporate event. Good stuff.

    John worked for Fender. He also worked for Rudy Pensa [built Mark Knopfler's Pensa guitars]. According to John, Rudy purchased a bunch of necks from Scheckner, who at the time were copying the Fender headstock until Fender won their court battle. After Fender won the rights to the headstock design, Rudy told John to simply cut the ball off the Fender headstock, which is how he came up with the original Pensa headstock. He carried it over to Suhr. I've never heard anyone say a bad thing about the Suhr guitars. Nice! Congrats on 700k Marty.

    John Suhr served as a Senior Master Builder at Fender Custom Shop at one point in his life. So the argument that “I’ll stick with my Fenders” or “It’s just another Strat rip-off” is invalid here. I love my Fenders. I have an American Deluxe and an American Standard but a Suhr is just on a whole other level. Well gonna stick with the Fenders for now till I can afford one.

    • @MrMattsucksatguitar
      @MrMattsucksatguitar 6 лет назад

      I don’t see how him previously working for fender makes that an invalid point. Now if he was the original designer of the body, pickup, and control layouts; then I could see it being invalid. Taking the original and putting your own twist on it doesn’t negate that you have borrowed very heavily which some would say ripped off. They are great guitars. I’ve got a Fender CS, Nash 63, and Suhr CP. All are great guitars, but two could very easily be called ripoffs of the other one.

    • @David-ry9ly

    @CNCTEMATIC 6 лет назад +9

    Here's my take on Suhr Strats: very playable, amazing stability. Tone wise, very nice, but they're not quite as sweet as a more vintage style instrument (not just Fenders). To me, they sound like a hi-fi reproduction of a great Strat. You can't hear the difference through RUclips compression, so its a small difference, but I definitely hear it in the room playing one. If I was working in a cover band or something I'd probably get a Suhr. But I really love that classic Strat sound, so I'm happy to put up with the downsides to get it. I don't have a real vintage Fender, I play a Hahn 229. Other makers I prefer include LSL.

  • @alfredh5022
    @alfredh5022 6 лет назад +5

    I think Marty should have let the guy speak. The only difference is the pickups. Would that guitar sound better than a Strat Plus, with Lace Sensors or an Elite Strat with Gen4 noiseless pickups? I have a Strat Ultra HSS from 1990 that sounds better than a Suhr. But I digress. I really want to know what the player of the Suhr thought of the differences. The history of John Suhr is that he was a luthier in NYC in Rudy's music shop , later making the famous Pensa-Suhr guitar in the late 80-early 90's and later working for Fender Custom Shop from 1995 to 1997. He probably picked up some experiences with mass guitar production even though he was with the Custom Shop, a low output situation. During his time as a luthier & prior to Fender he designed and built amps. Anybody can get a fret job with Stainless steel frets, costing about 10% or so that a nickel-alloy refret job. The reason for the headstock is that Fender has copyright protection on it, and no one can copy it without cease-and-desist letters from Fender's lawyers.

    • @gretschbasher
      @gretschbasher 6 лет назад

      I also have a 91 strat plus (in midnight wine) the worst part about those guitars are the lace sensors, they sound antiquated and not in a good way, like they were on to something but the parts available were sub par. Too boxy and thin, I immediately swapped out those crap pups for some custom D. Allen's and that guitar went from the one I barely touched to my favorite guitar. Suhr pups are waaaaay better sounding than some poo poo 90s lace sensors every day of the week

    @mgcnashville6615 4 года назад

    They don’t know much about what they’re talking about. The strat body style is not trademarked. Anyone can use it. The headstock is trademarked. 2nd: Suhr Guitars have a 1.650” nut width. So it’s def wider and a little thicker neck than fenders. Stainless frets that are PLEK’d. The Alnico V’s in the Suhr are unlike any other pickups available today. They utilize a special Alnico V that’s more brittle. Just like the old strats of the early 60’s. That makes a big difference. There’s a deep contour on the lower horn that allows easy access to the higher frets. The tuners are incredible too. Quartersawn nexks, and roasted. Makes for a very stable neck. Which fender doesn’t do either. To top it off, fender uses assembly line workers, who are basic laborers. Suhrs employees are all highly knowledgeable about every aspect of their guitars. I can say from personal experience, Suhr Guitars are some of the absolute best guitars available today. John Suhr is a genius.

    Good article Marty, another great thing about a Suhr guitar is the feel of the neck with a sanded down finish, makes it play great and it doesn’t get that tacky feel like some other guitars do. John Suhr makes some of the best noiseless pickups too with no hum, you can buy his noise canceling pickup system for any strat or Tele style guitar. Sonny Landreth uses Suhr’s system in a couple of his guitars. Thanks.

  • @m.stewart8094
    @m.stewart8094 6 лет назад +1

    Just got one of these in Olympic White. Sweet guitar and Suhr has great customer service. John Suhr is a very cool dude who still works on guitars and frequents message boards (and RUclips). Sounds like Bob might have overpaid a little . I think they are nicely set up to be the next PRS. The price increase was only applicable to the 2018 line that hasn't even been delivered yet and have been renamed Classic S (vs. Classic Pro) but its essentially the same guitar. There is a nice Sonic Blue option as well as well as light "relic" Antique versions. If you look hard enough you could still find these 2000-2200 new a littme more for the Antiques. These are the "affordable" Suhr's compared to their superstratty Standards, Moderns and Customs shop offerings.
    The comparable Strat for this would be the Elite (but sans the S1 Switch but plus SS frets) or perhaps a Custom Shop job. Don't understand the hate for the headstock. I think its sexy. Guitar manufactures have been able to copy the classic Strat, Tele and LP shapes since Gibson lost their PRS case and the Supreme Court declined to hear the challenge. The argument is that no one buys a PRS Silver Sky or a Suhr Classic or Suhr Aura ( their take on the LP) confused its a Fender or Gibson and neither of these guys have "Design Patents' on the shapes (which would have expired long ago).

    I am curious, Fact is the major benefit of the Fender bolt on neck is that 1. For a gigging musician (usually with limited funds) you can replace the neck and keep gigging. 2nd is that it is usually cheaper to replace than to refret. especially 7 times. The collector still would not recover the cost of that many refrets. The question is why would you not replace the neck or if you don't trust that the feel of the new neck will be different, refret with steel frets? NOTE: I am not a collector and really DO NOT CARE what my guitar is worth to some one else when I no longer feel its works for me.

I'm just curious because the Fender Strat is famous for its great balance (which is perfect for me) while wearing it, but with a smaller headstock from the Suhr, the balance might change. I just wanna know how much difference (if there's any) do you feel about their balance. Thank You.

    I will be the first to admit that Suhr builds a superb guitar, and the consensus is that they build guitars that Fender "should" be building. But they still use Fender designs. I'm not talking about it from a legality standpoint--I'm talking about it from a pure design standpoint. A car manufacturer wouldn't straight up just copy a Honda Civic, but improve it with Xenon headlights and use woven Yak hair for the upholstery and call it a "Masterline Super Commuter." It's still a freaking Honda Civic. There's an opportunity to here to create your own designs. If you're a kid in high school building a guitar as a project, I can see using a template--but these are professional makers charging thousands of dollars for a guitar. Design something unique.

      People spend money designing guitars that people will buy. You go design something totally different and see who buys it. It will be nothing but a novelty.

    Have two Suhrs (Classic Antique and Modern). They are great guitars. Check out Aaron Marshall for another incredible Suhr player (in addition to Mateus, Andy Wood, and Thornley). Tom Quayle and Martin Miller are now playin the “I miss my Suhr Modern” Ibanez AZ. Also incredible.

    He says his Suhr is wider than Fender. And it does look wider. But I thought Suhr Pro's had narrow 1.650" nut width?

      Not any less narrow than a vintage strat

    Info is incorrect nickel is not a soft metal it's actually a hard metal used in making stainless steel...I used to work in a steel mill and cutting parts made of nickel was always a slower process due to the hardness of the metal.

    • @mgcnashville6615
      @mgcnashville6615 4 года назад

      Normal frets are a nickel silver. So, not pure nickel. Nickel, cobalt and copper i think. They’re relatively soft. And will wear out. Stainless steel frets are best by far!

    I love Suhr, but the biggest stumbling block is the price. They are worth it, but it is a lot of money to pull out of your pocket.

  • @Shredsofeden
    @Shredsofeden 4 года назад

    Does the Suhr have a stiffer feel than the Fender?

    • @mgcnashville6615
      @mgcnashville6615 4 года назад

      Not to me. They’re incredibly smooth, and the strings just move like butter. It’s the ss frets. I’m currently putting stainless frets on my tele I built for this reason.

    • @mgcnashville6615
      @mgcnashville6615 4 года назад

      Also they have a compound radius. 9”-12” so, very good feel all the way up the neck. Fender doesn’t do compound necks

    Can someone recommend Noiseless Pickups for my Strat. Looking for all the Quack, Chime and Twang - without the 60 cycle hum and also a complimentary bridge humbucker. No high gain. Low output.
