Fantastic interview. Love Suhr products.
I wish I still had my SH model
I auditioned so many strats to find one that was perfect for me (every Strat that came through the shop for a handful of years). I was able to find ‘the one’ but there is just so much variability, too many that have intonation issues or that don’t resonate well, or that are close but are a weird color. I have a great one so I’m good to go, but it would have been great to pull a Suhr off the wall and skip the process. I’ve played a number of them and they are all pretty much spot on with the only ones I wasn’t fond of probably just because the neck wasn’t the same size as my Strat. I think well worth the price of admission.
Suhr guitars are the cure for G.A.S.
I haven't so much as considered buying another guitar since getting my Classic S.
3am and here I am on YouTube watching suhr guitar videos again… I will own one one day
Suhr seams like a good company.
Its a shame i never owned a Suhr guitar.
But its not to late….
I like the way they think about the artists.
Some other big american company its just $$$…
They have lost something by the a time ago..
Nice to see Suhr working for artists and the customer…..
Real nice people.
Best regards from Sweden????
The headstock
I’ve posted this comment of so many Suhr videos.. I owe them a huge apology! I used to bash their guitars for being over priced fenders … until I played one and forever became an ambassador for their brand. I now own 7 Suhr guitars and will NEVER buy another brand… they are THAT GOOD.
Never owned a Suhr guitar, but have the Bella, and Badger 30 and 18.
Would love to hear a deep dive convo about John’s amps.
Todays guitars are all about wood, give me a Jet guitar and i will show you all about the
Sound off playing a low budget guitar! ????
The price?????
I used to build guitars, and I will build again when I retire. In the meantime, I’m so happy to support this company. John gives information so freely. The necks, fretwork, & pickups are insanely incredible. my studio has become mostly suhr since I caught the bug
Don’t play with the headstock please
Stellar..thank you
So, when will there be an FX pedal called Roast Beef?
… And a price to match…
I absolutely loved this interview, I’m a big fan of Suhr Guitars and pedals. Inspiring musical gear. Thanks for sharing.
????????????????????????FULLSAIL UNIVERSITY????????????????????????
SUHR GITARS ARE AMAZING,
Great video, I have 2 strats and a Badger30
Great video! Love Suhr!
I give props to Suhr just because a lot of players like it, but he’a just another copy of the OG Fender. Thats why i only play OG Fender. Leo invented it all????????
What’s the current timeframe for a custom configuration build?
When John Suhr speaks, people listen!
Tested Suhr guitars in a shop in Ottawa. Absolutely amazing guitars! My favorite is the Alt T, the others are excellent too. I just wished the Alt T had "better colors". On my list for sure !
I’m a big fan of suhr now I have 4 and I can say they are the best guitars I have ever played very comfortable and awesome sounding
I’ve met multiple touring musicians and asked them about their Suhr guitars. They all said the same thing. “It’s the best guitar I’ve ever owned”
After 27 years of guitar playing, primarily using Jackson, Ibanez, and Fender guitars, I discovered Suhr guitars by coming across Mateus Asato clips on Instagram during the pandemic. There were not any dealers near me that even had a Suhr guitar in stock, and I ended up taking what I thought was a huge gamble by purchasing a Standard Legacy after never even seen or touched one of these instruments in person. This guitar was unlike anything I had ever touched or played. Everything about it was perfect. It's been said that some instruments seem like they already have music in them, and that was the case for this Suhr — it was like it could play itself. It was worth every single penny I paid for it. The worst thing, however, about a Suhr is not the price in my opinion… It's that it raises your expectations so high that you are no longer satisfied with anything less.
love my Suhr gear. leaves me wanting for nothing else
26:20 ???? Want to try that. If it's better than noiseless PUs then it should be more common.
What makes them a Suhr? Astronomical prices for a copied design.
What makes a Shur guitar a Shur guitar? Fender, obviously
Excellent guitars. Love them!
Haven’t known Suhr to give lefties a lot of love but they truly make spectacular guitars.
I just bought a 2011 EVH inspired bengal burst Suhr Classic with a Gotoh Floyd, maple neck and ss frets, and I can seriously say that it is the best playing, most resonant and musical strat ive ever played, and ive tried so many brands at this point. Im going to buy suhr from now on, totally blown away???? Thanks guys!
I love Suhr guitars! I have two.
