The Suhr Classic S is a modern take on a classic design, blending vintage aesthetics with contemporary performance. It features a 60's C vintage standard neck profile, with a maple fingerboard. This guitar is equipped with the Suhr V63 pickups in the Neck and Middle position and the SSV Plus in the bridge.
The Suhr V63 pickups are designed to capture the essence of the classic 1963 single-coil pickups. They are wound to have the same tonal characteristics as those found in a particularly sweet 1963 S-type guitar. The magnets used in these pickups are made by the same company that produced magnets for Fender in the early '60s, ensuring an authentic vintage sound.
The V63 pickups feature a modified staggered pole piece design, which provides an even magnetic field to accommodate instruments with flatter neck radii and modern string gauges. They use Alnico V magnets and have a DC resistance of approximately 6.4KΩ.
The Suhr SSV Plus pickup is a high-output humbucker designed to deliver the best attributes of vintage PAF-style pickups with an extra kick. It features a single row of adjustable screw pole pieces and a row of slug pole pieces, which provide a broad sonic aperture with very little compression. This makes the SSV Plus a dynamic and versatile pickup.
The SSV Plus is brighter than the standard SSV, offering increased output, sustain, and a sweet midrange response. It uses Alnico V magnets and has a DC resistance of approximately 10KΩ, making it suitable for a wide range of musical genres.
Other unique features include a 2 way mini toggle to split the bridge pickup as well as a mini push button that acts as a kill switch.
This guitar plays, sounds and looks great with the stunning Mercedes Blue Metallic finish!
