Description
The Suhr Classic S is a masterful blend of vintage design and cutting-edge innovation, giving players the timeless aesthetics of a ‘60s-inspired S-style guitar with modern upgrades for unparalleled performance. Built with an Alder body and a choice of Indian Rosewood or Tinted Maple fingerboard, the Classic S delivers a balanced tonal foundation that’s versatile across genres.
The 60’s C Vintage Standard neck profile (.810”–.930”) with a compound 9”-12” radius ensures a smooth, comfortable playing experience, while medium stainless steel frets guarantee long-lasting durability and effortless bends. Equipped with Suhr V60LP single-coil pickups (or an SSV humbucker in the HSS configuration), the Classic S captures the unmistakable sparkle and chime of vintage single-coils, enhanced by Suhr’s SSCII Silent Single Coil System, which eliminates 60-cycle hum without sacrificing authentic tone.
For rock-solid tuning stability, Suhr includes proprietary locking tuners with an 18:1 gear ratio and a 2-post tremolo with steel block, making the Classic S a reliable companion for both stage and studio. Finished with premium hardware and shipped in a Travel Pro softshell case, the Classic S is built for players who demand vintage vibe, modern playability, and professional reliability.
