The Suhr Classic S electric guitar is a harmonious blend of vintage style and modern innovation, designed for the discerning guitarist who demands both aesthetic appeal and superior performance. Built with an alder body, this guitar offers a rich, balanced tone that resonates with clarity and warmth. The maple neck and Indian rosewood fretboard provide a smooth playing experience, enhanced by the compound-radius fretboard that accommodates a wide range of playing styles.

A standout feature of the Classic S is its SSCII Silent Single Coil System, which effectively eliminates the notorious 60-cycle hum without compromising the guitar's tonal integrity. This system ensures that you can focus on your music without the distraction of unwanted noise. The guitar is equipped with Suhr's SSV Humbucker in the bridge position and two V60LP single-coil pickups in the middle and neck positions, all fitted with Alnico V Special magnets. This configuration delivers a versatile array of tones, from the warm and vintage to the modern and crisp.

The Classic S is further augmented by a Gotoh 510 tremolo system and Suhr locking tuners, ensuring stable tuning and expressive playability. A vintage-inspired 1960s "C" neck profile offers a comfortable grip, making fast runs and intricate chord work equally accessible.
