The Suhr Modern 7 Quilt Roasted – Trans Algae is a bold and visually stunning 7-string instrument built for modern players who demand exceptional craftsmanship, dynamic tonal range, and uncompromising playability. Drenched in a mesmerizing Trans Algae finish that highlights the breathtaking quilt maple top, this guitar is as much a piece of art as it is a high-performance tool for progressive and extended-range musicians.
At its core, the Modern 7 Quilt Roasted is built with a 2-piece mahogany body, offering a warm, rich tonal foundation with excellent sustain and depth. The contoured body features arm, hand, and tummy cuts, ensuring maximum comfort and ergonomic balance whether you're standing on stage or seated in the studio. The translucent green finish paired with black hardware gives this guitar a sleek, aggressive edge that stands out visually while maintaining Suhr’s signature elegance.
The neck is constructed from roasted flame maple, which not only provides enhanced stability and resistance to humidity and temperature changes but also showcases gorgeous figuring that complements the body’s top. Finished in smooth satin, the neck feels fast and silky under the hand, while the ebony fingerboard adds snap and clarity to every note. The neck is shaped with Suhr’s Modern Elliptical 7 profile (.780” - .850”), a refined contour designed specifically for technical, high-speed playing with enough meat to feel substantial without getting in the way. With a 10"–14" compound radius, standard roll edges, and 24 jumbo stainless steel frets, this guitar offers effortless playability and a luxurious feel across the entire fingerboard.
Aesthetically, the guitar features refined appointments such as a laser-etched silver Suhr logo, mother of pearl ring face dots, and green Luminlay side dots for superior visibility on dark stages. The modern look is finished off with a stealthy and ultra-stable Hipshot Hardtail 7 bridge and Suhr locking tuners, both in black, offering rock-solid tuning stability and consistent intonation.
When it comes to tone, the Modern 7 Quilt Roasted is armed with a perfectly matched set of Suhr’s own 7-string pickups: the 7 Vintage in the neck position and the 7 Hot in the bridge. The 7 Vintage delivers a smooth, articulate voice with clarity and warmth—ideal for clean passages, jazz voicings, or fluid leads. Meanwhile, the 7 Hot brings the heat with higher output and aggressive midrange punch, perfect for driving modern metal riffs and soloing with authority. The 5-way blade switch, along with master volume and tone controls, unlocks a versatile tonal palette, allowing players to seamlessly shift from glassy cleans to high-gain saturation and everything in between.
The Suhr Modern 7 Quilt Roasted – Trans Algae is a premium 7-string instrument that merges beauty, playability, and tonal flexibility into one jaw-dropping package. Whether you're exploring extended-range jazz, djent-inspired rhythm work, or experimental fusion, this guitar is designed to elevate your playing and inspire creativity at every turn.
