Description
The Suhr Classic S Antique blends authentic ’60s vintage character with modern precision engineering. Designed for players who crave traditional single-coil tone without compromise, this model delivers boutique craftsmanship, lightweight alder resonance, and Suhr’s industry-leading electronics.
Finished in a beautifully aged Surf Green nitrocellulose lacquer, this guitar features natural checking and light relic details, giving it the look and feel of a well-loved vintage instrument — straight out of the case.
Equipped in an HSS configuration, it offers versatile tonal range: sparkling V63 single coils in the neck and middle, paired with a powerful SSV humbucker at the bridge for added punch and sustain.
