Suhr Select Modern T Mahogany Guitar, Faded Trans Green Burst Burl
- DESCRIPTION
The Suhr Modern T Select 2021 guitars are a collaboration between Humbucker Music and Suhr and is available in very limited numbers. The Modern T Select was designed to bring the craftsmanship and quality of Suhr's Modern T line of guitars to a more affordable price while providing the player with some of Suhr's most popular appointments. If you were to custom order this guitar from Suhr, it would cost $3970 with an approximately 8-10 month lead time.
Our first run of these guitars (back in 2018) were extremely popular, so we decided to bring them back for 2021, with a few minor tweaks. For the 2021 models, we are using Genuine Mahogany for the bodies and necks, not African Okoume or Khaya (both great woods, by the way), and a Rosewood fingerboard as opposed to Pao Ferro.
This guitar sports a beautiful Burled Maple top that when combined with the mahogany body delivers a fat, well-balanced tone. Smooth without any harsh overtones.
The finishing process provides an unparalleled combination of protection and beauty, while the thinnest possible coats of finish are applied to allow the wood to resonate freely and still provide ample protection. These guitars are light, toneful and perfectly balanced.
Each Modern T Select goes through the PLEKing process at Suhr. Not only are they stunning, they play smooth as silk!
About the Select Series: So what is the difference between a Suhr Custom Modern T and a Modern T Select? Nothing! The Modern T Select is a fixed spec guitar with different finishes. With Suhr Custom guitars, you can practically customize every spec of your guitar. The Modern T Select guitars use the most common specs requested by players, allowing the EXACT same quality as a Custom, but at a better price.

About the pickups in this guitar:
Suhr ThornBucker Pickups are designed out of a need for a no-compromise, consistent set of 50's Gibson PAF style pickups with none of the downsides associated with them. 50's Gibson PAF humbucker pickups have long since been coveted for their exceptional tone and ability to play both clean and dirty. With inspiration from Pete Thorn, Suhr has brought us the perfect set of PAF pickups, while also bringing them into the modern age. The ThornBucker pickups have 4 conductor wiring (ability to coil tap) and a variety of spacing options.
