Description

The 'Rose' Suhr is still my main electric guitar, with 'Bernadette' (which I burnt using a pyrography kit) acting as my spare guitar. 'Rose' Suhr is a telelcaster style body, with three pickups and a trem so I can get all those fab Strat noises as well!!! This guitar sounds much more authentic for the Roger Waters gig, plus it's the most musically versatile guitar I've ever owned...

The 'Rose' graphics were conceived and created by Anne-Marie Helder. She also researched and composed the Egyptian hieroglyphs seen on the back of the guitar body and, using pyrographic tools, burnt both the 'Rose' design and the hieroglphs directly into the wood...

Rose Specs: Swamp Ash body / 1-piece Maple neck / Custom soft medium V shape - .800-.850 / 10-14" radius / Jumbo frets / 1055 bridge / 1.650" nut width / Chrome hardware / Sperzel locking tuners / No pickguard / T control plate with 5-way / V60LP neck / V60LP middle / Duncan Hot Rails in the bridge
