Suhr Select Alt T Cat's Eye Guitar, Dark Forest Green, Black
- DESCRIPTION
The Suhr Select Alt-T Cat's Eye guitars are a collaboration between Humbucker Music and Suhr and is available in very limited numbers.
The Suhr Select Alt-T cat's Eye is essentially an Alt-T with some minor refinements. The maple neck is now upgraded to Roasted Maple, the fingerboard markers are Abalone, and the F-Hole has been replaced with the sleek Cat's Eye sound hole. We also chose some custom color/pickguard combinations.
Each Suhr Select Alt T 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. If this guitar were ordered outside this special run, it would cost $4600.
The neck is made from roasted maple and features a vintage 60's Medium C shape with a Rosewood fingerboard, medium stainless steel frets, and Abalone Dot Inlays. The fingerboard has rolled edges and a 9"-12" compound radius, great for smooth bends. These appointments create a comfortable, fast feeling neck with long lasting playability.

About the Pickups in this Guitar
If you need authentic vintage humbucker sounds, there is no need to look any further than Suhr's SSV humbucking pickups. They have a broad sonic aperture with very little compression, making for a dynamic, vintage output humbucker. The SSV Neck is a versatile pickup that combines the warmth of a vintage humbucker with increased clarity and definition. The SSV Bridge is similar to the SSV neck in tone, but wound hotter for more output, increased sustain and a sweet midrange response.
Magnet: AlNiCo V, DC Resistance: 9K ohms for bridge position, 8K ohms for neck position, 4-conductor wire
The Alt T incorporates a 5-way switch with the dual humbuckers giving you a wide variety of tones. The pickup positions are the following:
1) Bridge Humbucker
2) Bridge Split and Neck Split Combined (more useful than bridge split!)
3) Bridge Humbucker and Neck Humbucker Combined
4) Neck Split
5) Neck Humbucker
