Got the gas for a Suhr modern so bad. It's freakin' killing me. Had just about talked myself into settling for a Mexican EVH Wolfgang but that damn Suhr is calling to me. Dammit.

If you go for the MIM Wolfie you'll always wonder what the Suhr would have been like. If you get the Suhr, you likely won't care.

This logic checks out. You can substitute Anderson for Suhr and it still works.Ventura":jrjyqcwt said:Do it.ewill52":jrjyqcwt said:Got the gas for a Suhr modern so bad. It's freakin' killing me.

the ONLY reason Tom Anderson isn't in the equation is that they're bit more and the Suhr is already more than I intended to spend. I WILL have a TA, just not this time.

FURTHERMORE, ahem...being a self admitted specialist in the realm of GAS, ahem, we have other ways of *justifying and rationalizing* this tack. Say for instance ewill52 decides to get the MIM Wolfie and we all know he'll end up selling it because he's got Suhr GAS. Just a fact. Can't help it. Like a crack addict to the rock, or alcoholic to the bottle - it's not a matter of choice, it's just reflex. So - what's the resale like on a practically brand new (but OPENED AND TOUCHED!!!) MIM Wolfie versus a practically brand new Suhr? That's right - the initial outlay for the Suhr is substantially more, but you'll be able to resell it easier - the reason it's expensive is because a) it's higher quality, b) it's better sounding and better built, and c) more people want it - supply and demand - therefore, price realization and justification. The MIM Wolfie?!?! How much you think someone's out there seeking a MIM Wolfie?? Probably the exact same number of people wishing they could spring for that Suhr Modern
Tell us when you've ordered the Suhr. If you need any extra support, we're here to help ewill52, we're here to help

MIM EVH vs Suhr?

Man, I'm in the same boat. I've been scouring the web for Suhr Moderns, haha. I really want a Modern with a fixed bridge, HSS config, I may do a custom order for that. Anyone have any idea how long a custom order normally takes? I sent in a question to Matts Music.

I know I know. Not in the same category. One is a practical decision for a really good guitar that I can gig with, the other side is what I really WANT and is 3X as much money

Had a Suhr modern custom. Loved it. It played like anything you would ever want. After months of playing it was hard to cope with i just spent 4k on basswood and a bolt on. Had the coccobolo neck with macassar ebony board. Just not able to handle the basswood for maybe principle of nothing else. It's not an exotic wood unless i missed something. It's a balanced tone wood as its advertised. Oddly enough the set neck non basswood Suhr are in the 5k price and higher. Until I can afford that I will stay away. Great builds unbelievably unheard of Support from Anderson and Suhr. Love em. Just not the overpriced basswood. U can get any body wood you want , so its a win win for ya

I miss my custom modern. Should never have parted with it, or should have at least let it go for more than I did. No way I can afford another one now I have kids. Got a pro series tele now though & love it. Had a Custom 24 & a Mayones Regius in the interim and neither were any where near as good as the Suhrs i've owned.

Man, I just went through the roller coaster ride too. Almost went for a Charvel Mod Pro, but as good of a guitar as that may be, I knew I'd always be wanting the Suhr Modern...just pulled trigger on one tonight. I'd say if at all possible, go for it. Such killer guitars.
