Suhr Modern Pro HSH Electric Guitar, Flamed Maple Top, Pau Ferro Fingerboard, Gig Bag - Bengal Burst
At Suhr, the belief is that great instruments inspire great performances. Every detail of the Modern Pro was carefully considered when they set out to craft an instrument that upholds this belief. The Modern shape is their high-performance take on the 24 fret design.
The sleek elliptical neck profile, balanced asymmetrical body, and innovative neck heel deliver unmatched playability and comfort. The stunning Flame Maple top is available in a variety of transparent finishes that have been developed to enhance its natural beauty.
NECK
The Modern Pro features a quarter-sawn Maple neck. The neck is finished with Suhr's satin acrylic urethane, which provides the smooth feel of natural wood as well as protection from moisture.
NECK PROFILE
The Suhr Modern is equipped with a Modern Elliptical neck profile. Rolled edges and a 10-14” compound fingerboard radius offers a substantial, yet comfortable shape.
FRETS
Jumbo Stainless Steel (.057″ x .110″)
Stainless steel frets offer silky smooth bending and long-lasting playability. Every Suhr receives a PLEK fret dress, ensuring the best possible string action, playability and intonation.
SCULPTED HEEL
The sculpted heel of the Modern allows for easy access to all 24 frets. For optimum tone and stability, the neck joint must not be too tight or too loose, therefore all of the neck pockets are precisely fitted by hand, by expert craftsmen.
BODY
The Modern shape has a unique asymmetrical body that balances superbly with the extended 24-fret neck. Fast, sleek and sexy looking, the Modern shape will feel right at home to players who were weaned on the popular and innovative shapes that came into vogue in the 80’s.
TONE WOODS
The Basswood and Flame Maple top has a fat, well-balanced tone that produces smooth sounds without any hard edges. Favored by blues and rock players for its strong, clear, full-bodied sound, with beefy mids and excellent lows.
BODY FINISH
Great care is taken to ensure that the thinnest possible layers of finish are applied. Our finishing process provides an unparalleled combination of protection, beauty, and tone. This allows the wood to resonate freely while still providing ample protection.
SCRAPED BINDING
Scraped binding allows for the natural maple to be seen along the edge of the top wood. This painstaking and detailed process accentuates the beauty of the body shape and adds elegance to the design.
