The Suhr Modern Roasted – Aqua Sparkle is a stunning synthesis of master craftsmanship, top-tier tonewoods, and modern versatility, all wrapped in an eye-catching aesthetic that commands attention. This boutique-level instrument is built for discerning players who crave performance without compromise, combining elite playability, tonal flexibility, and a sleek, contemporary edge.
At the heart of this guitar is a 2-piece roasted swamp ash body, chosen for its resonant, lightweight characteristics and enhanced stability thanks to the roasting process. The body is topped with a 2-piece plain maple cap, adding snap and clarity to the overall tonal profile. Ergonomic contours for the arm, hand, and tummy ensure that the Modern Roasted sits comfortably against the player’s body, making it ideal for long sessions on stage or in the studio. The edges are detailed with scraped binding, offering a refined visual accent that separates the glittering Aqua Sparkle finish from the natural beauty of the wood.
The neck is crafted from roasted flame maple, providing stunning visual character and increased resistance to humidity changes. Its satin finish gives a smooth, fast-playing feel that never gets sticky, while the roasted flame maple fretboard continues the theme of premium aesthetics and enhanced performance. The Even C Extra Slim neck profile (.770" to .850") offers an ultra-comfortable and fast-playing shape, especially suited for technical players. Coupled with a 11"-16" compound radius, jumbo stainless steel frets, and Suhr’s standard rolled edges, this neck delivers effortless bends and precision across the entire fretboard. Navigation is aided by green Luminlay side dots and clay face dots, ensuring visibility in both low-light and live settings.
Hardware is chrome throughout, adding a classy counterpoint to the vibrant finish. The Wilkinson WVS 130 2-post tremolo system features locking saddles and a steel block for enhanced tuning stability and tone transfer, while Suhr locking tuners further ensure precise, reliable tuning with smooth action.
Electronics are where the Modern Roasted truly excels. Outfitted with a versatile HSH configuration, the guitar features a Suhr SSV humbucker in the neck, a V60LP single-coil in the middle, and a high-output SSH+ humbucker in the bridge, all in parchment covers. This trio delivers a vast tonal palette, from warm, vintage neck tones to spanky strat-style middle textures and aggressive, modern bridge bite. The 5-way blade switch provides intuitive access to these tones, while two push/push coil splits (for both the neck and bridge pickups) expand your single-coil options. Additionally, a mini push-button blower switch bypasses the selector to send the bridge pickup straight to the output for immediate full-throttle tone—perfect for soloing.
Other finishing touches include a cream outline Suhr decal, a Tusq nut (1.687" width), and a hard case to protect your investment. Weighing in at a comfortable 7 lbs 4 oz, the Suhr Modern Roasted – Aqua Sparkle is a true modern masterpiece—built for the stage, the studio, and anywhere inspiration strikes.
