NGD: Custom Modern Suhr Content

[InFlames235]

I got this thing way faster than anticipated and it is KILLER! I had a NAD/NCD about a month ago with my Mark V and, until now, had to play a buddy's squire to fill the void. After I got this thing today I couldn't put it down. I'm actually shocked I'm even able to get to the computer and upload this NGD haha. Anyways, I can easily say that this is the best guitar I've EVER played on. I can't imagine anything ever beating it...maybe another Suhr?

I also want to give another big thanks to Matt's Music for helping me through this process. It was a pleasure to work with them and got me this guitar fast. Ordered on January 29th, received today. Enough talking though...onto the pics!

First, let's start with the one direct from the factory:

Next, here is a picture from when I first received the box:

Wow! Beautiful guitar man, enjoy it, play until your skin shreds. I love my Suhrs, hands down my favorites out of everything I own. The SS frets are awesome too. That is one fine Axe, enjoy it.

I got a modern a little while back and they are amazing. I really love the ssh+!! here is a pic, before and after it was dropped!!

Nice! I've got the same exact specs on one of my Suhrs except that I went with a black painted headstock, rosewood board, and Aldrich pickups. Love mine as well!

Beautiful. My 2 Moderns are without a doubt, the best pieces of gear I've ever purchased. Looking back, I've had my #1 and #2 since 2008 and 2009 and other than conditioning the fretboard, I haven't had to touch them. I live in NY and I have never had to adjust the truss rod. I'd love a 7. Enjoy.

Dude it was your NGD that I found on google that cemented my decision on the trans whale blue burst color haha I'm loving the color and of course, the playability is out of this world.

Sorry for my crap pictures, guys. I realized after yesterday I need to get an actual digital SLR or high MP camera instead of just using my iPhone. Just doesn't do the guitar justice. I'm going to see if my buddy is free this week to come and snap some better photos of this thing.
