The Suhr Roasted Modern T in Faded Trans Whale Blue Burst is a striking example of precision craftsmanship and modern guitar design. Built by John Suhr and his renowned Suhr Guitars team, this instrument blends the elegant lines of a T style guitar with the refined performance and detail that have made Suhr one of the most respected names in contemporary electric guitars.
At the heart of the build is a beautifully chambered two piece roasted swamp ash body, carefully contoured with arm, hand, and tummy cuts that make the instrument feel effortless against the player. The body is crowned with a breathtaking two piece waterfall burl maple top finished in a luminous Faded Trans Whale Blue Burst. The figuring cascades like rippling water beneath the translucent finish, creating depth and movement that shifts as the light hits the surface. The matching waterfall burl maple headstock completes the visual story, giving the guitar a cohesive and luxurious presence from every angle.
The neck is carved from exceptional 5A roasted birdseye maple, paired with a matching 5A roasted birdseye maple fretboard. The roasting process enhances stability while deepening the wood’s natural character, producing a neck that feels lively and resonant in the hands. Suhr’s Modern Elliptical profile measures .780 to .830 and is paired with an 11 to 16 inch compound radius, offering a comfortable feel for chords near the nut and effortless bending higher up the neck. Twenty four stainless steel jumbo frets provide a glassy smooth playing surface with remarkable durability, while the rolled fingerboard edges, clay face dots, and glowing Luminlay green side markers ensure both comfort and visibility on any stage.
Hardware throughout reflects Suhr’s commitment to performance and reliability. A Wilkinson WVS130 two post tremolo with locking saddles and a steel block offers expressive vibrato with excellent tuning stability, supported by Suhr locking tuners and a Tusq nut. The guitar balances perfectly at just 7 pounds 1 ounce, giving it a lively acoustic response while remaining comfortable for long sessions.
Electronics are equally refined. A chrome covered SSV humbucker in the neck delivers warm, articulate tones with rich harmonic complexity, while the chrome covered SSH bridge humbucker brings clarity, punch, and dynamic response. A five way blade switch provides a wide range of classic and modern voices, while the push pull tone control allows the bridge pickup to split for crisp single coil textures. Suhr’s SSCII Silent Single Coil System keeps everything quiet and hum free, preserving clarity even in the split positions.
The result is an instrument that feels alive in the hands. Visually stunning, tonally versatile, and engineered for flawless playability, this Suhr Roasted Modern T stands as a perfect union of art, innovation, and performance. It arrives protected in its hard case, ready to inspire from the first note.
