this... I was looking for a new guitar and I really wanted a new Jackson Custom Shop Soloist with a Mike Learn graphic, but they want ridiculous coin ($4K min) for the ones I like... So I was in Hollywood checking them out and didn't find anything I liked. In fact, I couldn't find any custom shop Jacksons. So on my way back to the car, I decide to walk into Mesa Hollywood and it turns out they are now a Suhr dealer and here is this incredible guitar. Basically exactly the Floyded Suhr I wanted to go with my non-Floyded one. I was really psych'd when I saw it had the Aldrich pickups which sounded great - real aggressive. So I had to have this one - never really find guitars I like in stores and this was a big exception. I love this guitar! Anyway, here's the setup:

Basswood Body w/Flame maple top in Trans Blue Denim Slate - Black back
Maple neck with Indian Rosewood Fretboard
Even C Slim neck profile
JST Aldrich Bridge and Neck hums w/chrome covers

Here she is:








and with my other baby:

Hmmm... I think you should get some new carpet... the colour of your current carpet doesn't do your new Suhr justice!!!


Cool

Laughing that guitar looks rather amazing, I really like the chrome hardware contrast to the wood...

+1 for the carpet... a mid grey blue would really set off the new Suhr...
these things are important I think Wink

OK, two votes for new carpet! Smile

Thanks for the comments guys. This guitar is a great player and sounds really good through my rig. The Aldrich pickups are really nice...

It seems perverse that Guitars are 99% playing but over the internet or if you're a left handed person like me it's 99% looks.

Any chance of some soundclicks before the honeymoon period has worn off - like while your fingers are still surprising you Wink

Wow Shocked

Very nice guitars. I'd be more inclined to the root beer Suhr, but still, two very fine guitars.

I want to hook up Guthrie with a Floyd-equipped shred machine with a pair of the Aldrich humbuckers. The last time I saw Guthrie he mentioned that he may be interested in experimenting with the Floyd again. Shocked

Phwoar!

What a beauty!

Is that a fairly rare finish? Looks wonderful - a true work of art!

Cool! Ed this guitar is incredible. The perfect counterpoint to my rootbeer! You guys are building some amazing guitars. I love the chrome pickup covers on the Aldrich pickups without the pickup rings! Very cool...

Perhaps... but if we can agree we were both a bit harsh I'd say progress towards true understanding has been made. Wink
