Up for sale, a 2016 Suhr Classic T in showroom-clean, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original padded gigbag and hangtag. John Suhr has more than 45 years of guitar building experience, including leading Fender's Custom Shop as a Senior Master Builder. Bringing his wealth of experience to his own brand beginning in 1997, the Suhr Classic T takes the traditional Telecaster platform and seamlessly blends both vintage and modern features for the ultimate in performance and playability.
This Classic T weighs 7lbs 8oz, and tonewoods include a swamp ash body, maple neck, and a 22 fret compound radius maple cap fretboard with medium stainless steel fretwire. The pair of Classic T single coil pickups feature Alnico V magnet construction, designed to deliver an idealized version of a classic Tele tonal palette. The bridge yields snappy twang with smooth, rounded high trebles, while the neck is broad and bold with a woody chop, retaining great detail. This Classic T has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar, dialed in 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
