Suhr Select Classic S Antique HSS Guitar, Roasted Flamed Neck, 3 Tone Burst, Maple
The Suhr Select Classic S Antique Roasted Flamed Neck guitars are a collaboration between Humbucker Music and Suhr and are available in very limited numbers.
We are VERY excited about this run! The Select Classic Antique is a reworked design of the much loved Classic Antique. Some small adjustments were made to bring these guitars a bit closer to vintage specs and feel. Here are those changes:
1) The Gotoh 510 2-post has been replaced by the Gotoh 510 6 screw.
2) The locking tuners have been replaced with Gotoh Klusons with a string tree.
3) The neck is now finished in oil instead of nitrocellulose lacquer for a smoother, more comfortable feel.
4) The hardware, knobs, and pickguard are now aged.
5) The nitrocellulose finish has a more authentic appearance to the aging.
Additionally, we created this Select run with a beautiful Roasted Flamed Maple neck, Hybrid Headstock, and either a Tortoise Shell or Mint Green pickguard.
The Select Classic Anqique uses the popular low noise Suhr V63 pickups in the neck and middle position, and a Raw Nickel SSV humbucker in the bridge. As far as construction goes, each is built with a two-piece alder body. Alder is known for its rich low and mid-range tonal qualities. The body is finished with nitrocellulose lacquer to allow more resonance and feel like it's been worn in for years. The neck is made from beautiful roasted flamed maple and features a vintage 60's C shape with medium stainless steel frets. The frets feature rolled edges and a 9"-12" compound radius, great for smooth bends. These appointments create a comfortable, fast feeling neck with long lasting playability.
And of course, each Select Classic S Antique Roasted Select goes through the same renowned individual setup process that $10-15k Suhr Custom guitars go through. For the money, these guitars simply CANNOT be beat.

About the Pickups in this Guitar
Suhr’s new V63 pickups are wound to have the same tonal characteristics as those found by John Suhr in a particularly sweet 1963 Strat. The magnets are made by the same company that made the magnets for Fender in the early 60’s and use the exact same formulation and manufacturing process.
V63 pickups incorporate a modified staggered pole piece design to provide an even magnetic field needed to accommodate instruments with flatter neck radius and today’s string gauges.
Magnet: Alnico V Special
DC Resistance: 6.4KΩ (neck), 6.4KΩ (middle)
Hook Up Wire: Braided Cloth
The SSV Humbucker in the bridge has a broad sonic aperture with very little compression, making for a dynamic, vintage output humbucker. The SSV is a versatile pickup that combines the warmth of a vintage humbucker with increased clarity and definition. The SSV Bridge is wound a bit hotter for more output, increased sustain and a sweet midrange response.
