Yesterday i popped into marshall music woodmead hunting for a speaker cab and while i was there stuart showed me the suhr guitars they have , just 2 at moment and one less expensive but less ornate than the other ,

so i tried out the more expensive one and left well impressed

so what was impressive was the guitar had a nice managable weight , ergenomically looked like a strat but with a les pauls arched top and gorgeous finish , but most impressive was the tone , man i was in tone nirvana, it gets fat jazz tone and can get almost any tone to twangy tele type bite , has a trem and it was one of the most tonally pleasing guitar to my ear that i played in a while , and i wasn't testing blind but thru same amp back to back played my archtop, a gibson es 339, gibson sg , gibson es 335 ; so some comparison to other fairly top end humbucker guitars , the suhr was amazing and as always to my taste stood out head and shoulders over anything else i played that afternoon,

one dislike was it had a huge baseball bat type neck on it , too fat for my taste and i even commented it felt like a neck on a cheap pawn shop special but once you hear the notes and tone you forget that niggle and yes it would take getting used to but not a deal breaker

however a price tag before discount of about 38K takes it out of my pocket ...... Sure it will be discounted and i know what that is but still in lower 30k region

so an experience to savour , a guitar i would love to own but afraid my pockets aint that deep when buying a guitar ? being middle class sucks
