Player's Perspective
We're proud to present this gorgeous Suhr Classic T Antique with a Trans White blonde finish! A classic look for a vintage T-style guitar that harkens back to the early 1950s, this Antique sports a thin nitro finish and just the right amount of aging to make the guitar feel worn-in and just right in your hands right out of the box.
If you're looking at this, 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 vintage '50s "T" you always wanted in the day, but completely revitalized, and high-end - well, you can stop your search right here.
While very similar to the non-Antique Classic T, this model features a slightly thicker Vintage Medium neck profile, which will feel a little more familiar for players switching over from the thick necks of the guitars of yesteryear. The fretboard has a compound radius, letting you be comfortable whether you're playing lead lines up high or complicated chord shapes down low. The SSCII silent electronics allows you to maintain the true integrity of your single-coil pickups without any of that annoying 60-cycle hum. The sound, however, is still 100% vintage T-style guitar - the Classic T pickups are no-nonsense vintage T tone at their core.
Having the functionality and ease of use of a modern instrument but the tone and feel of the perfect vintage piece is the ultimate marriage. Suhr continues to absolutely nail it, and the Classic Antique series is their philosophy truly idealized.
