Suhr Pro series purchase

[Gainiac]

Hey man if you like 1 you'll like 2 twice as much!! I'm definitley gonna buy another Washburn N4 at some point. You like what you like.

yeah, I smacked the crap outa my pro6 thru the axefx last nite and the thing just simply does
EXACTLY what I want, it cuts the amp well, no funky extreme frequences to deal with, the rhythyms are punchy enuff for me, the solo 'mids' are right there, the 'notch' positions inbetween let me play my 5 lousy hybrid picking licks and actually almost sound like I know what I'm doing... Your RIGHT. I like these damn Suhrs.... I WILL have a matched set!! I will!! I WILL, I WILL, I WILL!!!!!!

I'd get it with a different neck pickup for variety.

I never use to care for single coils until I played my Standard with FL's...

 

[Random Hero]

Simply, do it.

I've already put the Aldrich in the neck, I modded it a bit an now its HSH, an I'm lovin it... Cant say enuff about these guitars...

Maybe the next 1 gets all Aldrich....

HELL NO.

Listen, they aren't giving those things away and if you are going to take the $$$ hit, it should at least be an all around great guitar. What adds insult to injury is that you know that there are better tops comming out of the Suhr camp, so why get stuck with one that's so so IMHO

Not ragging on Suhr because they are currently my favorite guitar but NO.

Now take a look at this $1200 Made in Thailand guitar......End of discussion, Im not saying that it will play like or sound like a suhr but the top pisses all over what you just showed me....SORRY

Ralph, that Atlas was made in Thailand, not "Tiwan."

I've played a decent amount of Suhr guitars and this Atlas is every bit as nice in tone, feel, build quality, and looks. I got it for $1250 used. The original owner paid about $1600 new.

 

[thiswaythatway]

I've been thinking about a Suhr S5 or 6, but i feel an LP Custom is calling me.

 

[Stratboy151]

hey H that plain white pickguard just kills it for me, awesome top or not..

Oooops!!!

With that said, it is still killing the Suhr and if you are telling me it sounds as good and plays as good, Methinks Harry has his answer lol :

Great score !!!

I wish you and some of the other HOM guys could play it. I'd be willing to bet you guys would love it.

I don't doubt that for a second. That guitar has just about everything I dig on it down to the neck width!!!

ARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

ALLRIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!

alright.... I'm already over it.. Actually, shot photos of it an put her up on the site... Even these photos w/ our kick-ass camera wouldnt help it... http://www.guitarasylum.com/product_pag ... apink.html
Plays like a champ but no comparision in top to my blue denim....
Ok. Thanks Gents... I needed to be talked off the ledge.... I'll wait....

 

[mrp5150]

I think the guitar looks great personally. Yeah the flame could be more ridiculous looking, but that wouldn't stop me from buying it if I were interested.

Ya know why I'm hesitating, we've got like 9 more due in the next few months not including the Moderns/standards... I've got itchy ass for a new toy an Ralph knows it... Bsides the denim I have SMOKES IT. I've gotta take some real pics this weekend so it'll stand as a real comparision on these Pro series pieces.... Although we DO have a 10th anni I've had my eye on... http://www.guitarasylum.com/product_pag ... 2.html:lol:
