Suhr Pro series purchase

[ejecta]

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

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

thats how they come, John. bsides I need the 'guard cause, 1, I can move the vol. pot to the tone, and 2, I wont play a 'built' one till I hear it first....
Might updgrade the next 1 to a pearl guard aftermarket....

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.

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.

East Coast HOM would be willing to let you ship it here for a 'run-thru'...
