I have one of the first G.G. Suhrs. And while I absolutely love it, I do have to wrestle with the tuning at times.

I was thinking about finding someone who wants to trade, straight up, a new model for my first model (signed by G.G. next to the laser engrave).

I'm thinking that the new wood choices will be quite a bit more stable. While I'm sure some people still love the sound of mahogany, I would rather trade that certain tone for a more stable neck in every situation.

Any advice or comparisons between the two guitars?

Until I get my hands on one, I won't be able to use my own ears and fingers. And I trust your opinions.

One more thing, does anybody know why the G.G. Doesn't come BFTS equipped? Has anybody retrofitted Buzz Feiten on a Guthrie?

Thanks everyone,

Justin

Although i too am a mahogany guy can see your neck stability point,but the basswood body is a real downer for me.So i thnk i would go with the original one(though i haven;t play any of them to be true).As for the BFTS i think that it gets in the way with the Drop D tuning.

Really? I didn't know that.

Is it that significant of an issue?

If the cons outweigh the pros, it makes total sense.

I have a Tom Anderson hollow drop top and Tele. And I absolutely love the BFTS on those.

The G.G. Suhr just blows them away tone wise. Again it's just the tuning.
