Hey guys,

Wanted to share some pics of my Suhr Standard. I got this guitar a few years ago and it was originally a Tobacco Burst over a Mahogany body. It looked really great but over time I have gotten really interested in drips and I just don't need to add another Standard. This one, being a H-H configuration, is my most "rock" guitar so I figured it would be a good candidate for a drip refin if Suhr would do it. Well, I reached out to them to see if they did refins and they said yes. So the next question was "which drip?" I love them all but was partial to the ice blue or the root beer. Then, I started thinking "whats another cool drip that doesnt exist yet?" Then, it dawned on me...Molten Lava Drip! So, I emailed Suhr my idea and sent them a pic of some lava over rocks I got from google image search. We went talked about the finish a bit to make sure they knew what I wanted and this is the result! I think its absolutely sick! Its a solid black base with metallic "molten lava" dripping down the guitar! Suhr took these shots and the guitar is on it way back to me. Big thanks to the guys at Suhr, especially Travis, for working with me on this one. I cant wait to see it in person!

That is hot! After looking at the other gear in your sig, I see a few other things I would like if you ever liquidate. Right up my alley!
 
Very cool looking finish!! Great idea to let the guys at Suhr "mod" your axe.
 
Now I don't normally get wet over Suhr's like some do here.....but that is the fucking tits.
 
Tell Noel you need to talk to John about your royalties when they incorporate this finish in their production runs. :inlove:

Hahaha! I know right! I think it will be a popular choice.

Here's another interesting bit of Suhr lore for you as well. I actually came up with the idea for that Tremol-no cut out on the backplate as well. This is my second standard but when I ordered my first one, RockStarNick actually emailed John an Adobe Illustrator file he made for me for the backplate!
 
That finish and the reverse headstock is awesome, hope to get another Suhr someday!
 
That looks slick as hell. I would love to see more guitars like this in other colors.

The drip is a cool Suhr finish. I think Silver was the first for SS. Pete Thorn has a Rootbeer. There are a lot. Very cool.
