Suhr Guitars is synonymous with high-end guitar brands.
Founder John Suhr began his career at the renowned New York shop Rudy's, and was highly acclaimed for his work on Pensa Suhr guitars, amplifier design at CAE, and his work as a master builder at Fender.
Needless to say, he later established his own brand, Suhr Guitars, and his outstanding work there goes without saying.
Guitarists are particularly popular in Japan, and as evidenced by his work at Pensa Suhr and Fender, the basses he builds are also top-notch.
This is the Classic J, a model based on the JB.
The body has a classic ash body and maple fingerboard.
A bit unusual, this model features an active circuit.
The pickups are Humpnry Suhr 65JB, and the preamp is likely original and listed as a JOHN SUHR 99 JST3B.
The bridge is likely a KTS / PR-03WB1.
This is likely the foundational part of the guitar.
The tuners are HIPSHOT.
The sound, lightly colored by modern hardware, is output with superb playability.
The neck is characterized by a neat and beautiful design, and Suhr's quality in this area is truly top-notch.
This is a textbook example of how good hardware, carefully integrated with a beautiful design, naturally produces a great sound.
Highly recommended.
Approximately 70% of the frets remain.
The truss rod is in good condition.
The neck is in good condition.
The body and finish show multiple dents and scratches, and there is a large paint crack near the joint. There are also screw holes on the top of the body that appear to have been where a finger rest was attached.
The electrical system is in good condition.
The pickguard may have been replaced.
