Description

The Suhr Custom Standard is a masterfully crafted electric guitar that seamlessly combines sleek design with impressive versatility. Built with an aerodynamic alder body and topped with a stunning quilt maple, this guitar is as visually captivating as it is sonically powerful. Designed for players who demand both comfort and playability, it features a maple neck with an Even C Slim profile, offering a silky-smooth playing experience, while its compound-radius Indian rosewood fingerboard with 22 stainless steel frets facilitates effortless runs and bends.

Sonically, the Suhr Custom Standard offers a broad palette of tones, courtesy of its HSS pickup configuration. The SSH+ bridge humbucker delivers a balance of vintage warmth and modern bite, perfect for any genre from blues to rock. Complementing the humbucker, the V63+ single-coil pickups in the middle and neck positions provide a wide array of hot-wound single-coil tones, from tight lows to sparkling highs. The push-pull function adds an extra layer of tonal flexibility by allowing for coil splitting, unleashing a world of possibilities for your sound.

Reliability and tuning stability are assured with the Suhr 2-point tremolo system and robust locking tuners, making this guitar a performer’s dream. Handcrafted with meticulous attention to detail in Suhr's California workshop, the Custom Standard is designed to inspire and elevate your playing.
