Suhr Classic S Antique SSS Guitar, Indian Rosewood board, Olympic White

Player's Perspective

We're proud to present another beautiful Suhr Classic S Antique SSS, this time in Olympic White with Indian rosewood fingerboard! A timeless color combination and look for an S-style guitar, this Antique also has a nitro finish and just the right amount of aging to make the guitar feel worn-in and perfect in your hands.

If you're looking at this instrument, chances are you're already familiar with the impeccable reputation that Suhr have built for themselves over the years. Known for their high-end boutique hot-rodded guitars, the craftsmanship and playability of these guitars is unparalleled. If you're looking for something that will be reminiscent of that old-school S-type you had back in the day but want something that has evolved and been improved upon with today’s greatest guitar-building techniques - well, you can stop your search right here.

The silent (that's right! No more noisy 60-cycle hum!) single-coil circuitry allows you to retain 100% of that genuine single coil sound without any of the noise. The V63 pickups, made with the same Alnico V magnets sourced for real vintage pickups, are voiced for authentic 1963 “S” tones and they do an amazing job of recreating that sound. But the beauty here is that the only noise coming out of your guitar will be music that you are creating. You can isolate any of the pickups without ever worrying about added hiss.

Add the supremely functional Suhr locking tuners, fantastic Gotoh 510 2-point tremolo, contoured heel and other contemporary appointments and improvements, this Classic Antique is vintage sound meets modern playability wrapped up in a gorgeous package.

ITEM SPECIFICS

The Suhr Classic marries vintage design with modern improvements resulting in an instrument that is capable of producing iconic tones while retaining the build quality, features and playability you’ve come to expect from Suhr. This Classic S Antique features a quartersawn maple neck and rosewood fingerboard that is tinted and finished with Suhr's thin nitro lacquer finish. The neck has the addition of a contoured heel where the neck bolts on for easy access to all the frets. The unique blend of locking tuners, a high performance bridge, V63 pickups and Suhr's proprietary SSCII noise reduction system creates the perfect combination of vintage tones with modern performance.

The Classic S is equipped with their 60's C Vintage Medium neck profile. Rolled edges and a 9″-12” compound fingerboard radius offers a substantial, yet comfortable shape. Stainless steel frets offer silky smooth bending and long-lasting playability. The contoured heel of the Classic allows for easier access to the upper register. The SSCII is Suhr's proprietary silent single coil system. The SSCII is installed inside the body of the guitar and works with traditional single coil pickups. It reduces 60 cycle hum and has no impact on tone, no batteries to change – just transparent noise reduction.
