The Suhr Modern Roasted in Surf Green is a masterfully crafted instrument that seamlessly blends contemporary performance, refined aesthetics, and exceptional tonal versatility. Built with the precision and attention to detail that have made Suhr one of the industry's premier custom guitar builders, this Modern is equally at home on stage, in the studio, or in the hands of discerning players seeking an instrument without compromise. Finished in the timeless Surf Green, its understated elegance is complemented by premium tonewoods and meticulously appointed features that elevate both its appearance and performance.
The foundation of its lively and articulate voice begins with a lightweight two piece roasted swamp ash body, paired with a two piece plain maple top. The combination delivers outstanding resonance, clarity, and dynamic response while maintaining excellent balance across the frequency spectrum. Sculpted arm, hand, and tummy contours provide exceptional playing comfort, allowing the guitar to feel like a natural extension of the player. The scraped binding offers a clean, sophisticated visual accent that highlights the maple top while preserving the instrument's sleek modern aesthetic.
The roasted flame maple neck and matching roasted flame maple fingerboard contribute remarkable stability while enhancing sustain, snap, and overall resonance. Finished in smooth satin, the neck offers a fast, effortless feel that encourages fluid movement across the fretboard. Suhr's Even C Extra Slim neck profile measures .770 to .850 inches, providing a comfortable and ergonomic shape suited for both technical lead work and expressive rhythm playing. A compound 10 to 16 inch radius with Standard Roll edges, a 1.687 inch Tusq nut, and 24 jumbo stainless steel frets create an exceptionally refined playing experience with low, buzz free action and outstanding durability.
Equipped with Suhr's versatile HSS pickup configuration, this Modern delivers an expansive tonal palette. The SSV neck humbucker produces warm, articulate cleans with rich harmonic complexity, while the V60LP single coil in the middle position captures classic vintage inspired sparkle and clarity. At the bridge, the SSH Plus humbucker provides tight lows, focused mids, and singing highs with ample output for everything from classic rock to modern high gain applications. A five way blade selector, master volume, and master tone control offer intuitive operation, while independent push push coil splits for both the neck and bridge pickups greatly expand the guitar's tonal flexibility, making convincing single coil sounds available at the touch of a button.
Premium hardware ensures dependable performance under demanding conditions. A Wilkinson WVS130 two post tremolo with locking saddles and a steel block delivers smooth action, excellent sustain, and impressive tuning stability. Suhr locking chrome tuners provide quick string changes and rock solid tuning, while the chrome hardware complements the instrument's clean and contemporary styling. Green Luminlay side dots offer excellent visibility on dark stages, clay face dots provide a classic visual touch, and the cream outline decal logo adds an elegant finishing detail.
Weighing just 7 pounds 2 ounces, this Suhr Modern Roasted feels remarkably balanced and resonant in the hands. It includes its original hard case, ensuring premium protection whether traveling to performances, recording sessions, or safely storing the instrument at home.
Combining premium roasted tonewoods, world class craftsmanship, and an extraordinarily versatile electronic platform, this Suhr Modern Roasted is an inspiring instrument that rewards every nuance of a player's touch. It is a guitar built without compromise, offering exceptional feel, uncompromising reliability, and a voice capable of covering virtually any musical style with confidence and authority.
