Suhr Select Classic S Guitar, Roasted Flamed Neck, 3-Tone Burst, Rosewood
- DESCRIPTION
The Suhr Select Classic S Roasted Flamed Neck guitars are a collaboration between Humbucker Music and Suhr and is available in very limited numbers.
As one of Suhr's largest dealers in the world, we designed this Custom Classic S run to bring the craftsmanship and quality of Suhr's Classic Custom line of guitars to a more attractive price while providing the player with some of Suhr's most popular appointments.
Starting with the highly regarded Classic S, and building on the massive success of our previous run, we decided to recreate this run with a few changes. We dropped the roasted alder bodies to lower the price a bit, and added a few more colors. This Select run still features the highly desired roasted flamed maple neck. Aesthetically, we chose an aged green (3-ply mint) pickguard for this guitar.
Our Classic S Roasted Select features low noise Suhr V60LP pickups with SSCII electronics, stainless steel frets and modern hardware like Suhr Locking Tuners and a Gotoh 510 Tremolo Bridge!
And of course, each Classic S Roasted Select goes through the same renowned individual setup process that $10-15k Suhr Custom guitars go through, including the PLEK process. For the money, these guitars simply CANNOT be beat.
Each is built with a two-piece alder body. Alder is known for its rich low and mid-range tonal qualities as well as its lighter overall weight, especially when roasted. Suhr takes great care in finishing the body with an ultra "Thin Skin" urethane finish, allowing for the wood to resonate freely while still providing plenty of protection to ensure the longevity of these guitars.
The neck is made from beautiful roasted flamed maple and features a vintage 60's C shape with medium stainless steel frets. The frets feature 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
Every V60LP pickup is hand-built, precisely wound (using Suhr's proprietary winding process) and features: plain enamel wire, specially formulated Alnico V magnets, and vintage correct gray fiber bottoms. The V60LP also incorporates a modified staggered pole piece design, which provides an even magnetic field that is perfect for capturing those soaring multi-step bends that became an essential ingredient of the classic Strat solo. Another benefit is that they are a great fit for today’s flatter neck radius equipped guitars.
V60LP’s are exceptionally dynamic and respond to every nuance of your playing. Their tone is balanced with tight snappy lows and shimmering highs that cut ever so sweetly without sounding harsh. Whether you play Rock, Blues, or R&B, the V60LP is ideal for the player searching for the ultimate vintage era single-coil pickup.
The V60 Middle Pickup is RWRP (reverse wound, reverse polarity)
