Suhr Pro Series

Gurj · #1 09-23-2007, 06:57 PM

Does anyone here have any experience with the Suhr Pro series guitars. After falling with love with my Suhr Standard, I'm seriously considering buying one

No personal experience but I know they're supposed to be fantastic! I mean it's a Suhr so it's bound to be

They all come with the 1055 Gotoh trem now as far as I know.

Not long until my Carve Top is finished now (hopefully...)

I've read a few reviews on HC and the general comment is that the Pro Series is as good as the custom guitars, but I wanted a few opinions over here before I decide to buy one. Although I did ask a couple of American fleabayers to ship their used ones over here and save me a packet compared to a new one. But they flat refused to do so

I'm not to keen on the S1, but the S2 (maple fretboard) and the S3 look fantastic value for money IF the standard features are what you're after.

The S3 with a killer flame top, SSH+ HB and Even C slim neck will do for me anyday

I have two of the original Pro Series (which are essentially S1's w/ Wilkinson VG-300's and a DSH in the bridge w/ 2 V60LPs). Best guitars ever. Sold my stash because these tend to work better for me...

Hey, I tried the S1 and the S3 yesterday and they are fantastic axes, f***ing great...
I want one so much...

Thanks for the replies guys

I think I'll probably end up buying one if I can find it at the right price, there's no way I'm spending £1300 on a new one!

Matt is a Suhr dealer, so if you want a good price on one I'd definitely check with him.

Yeh, I've been checking some of his custom guitars he's had in. Amazing tops

I've been having a chat with the dealer at Sounds Great in Manchester and might be tempted to get one custom built. If I do, I'll have one built with a top similar to my old MRG-1 QMG

If you've got the cash - custom is the only way to go !!!

Gurj · #11 09-30-2007, 03:40 PM

I know mate

BUT as you know, the custom will cost around £2500!! Yikes, better get saving............... or selling

markg5150 · #12 09-30-2007, 03:43 PM

Sell - you know it makes sense

Gurj · #13 09-30-2007, 03:46 PM

Trust me, I've been thinking about it

My carved top is coming to £1600 or thereabouts, shipping and customs will bring it to £2k, but it's still LOTS cheaper than ANY carved top in the uk. It's pretty tricked out too :>
