How much do the flametop Suhr Moderns cost in teh States?

New depending on the grade of top and options I am guessing around $2600 as a starting point, could be wrong though.

Have him build me a JC for a good price and I'll take one, the Ibanez cloners are a fucked up bunch so we can use a good one :D


Why not just buy a JC if you want one, or you could buy a work of art, and order from me ;)
 
I’ve never been a huge Ibanez fan, but I had a J Custom for a while that was a very nice guitar. It really forced me to rethink my opinion of Ibanez because it wasn’t just nice for an Ibanez, it was just flat out a nice guitar. Fit and finish was very, very good. I still sold it though. The wide flat neck made my fretting hand hurt and something about the acoustic properties of the guitar was off. I’ve since got a Suhr Modern and it really is a step or two above the J Custom IMO. The woods in the guitars is the same except for the fretboard (Suhr – Pau Ferro, Ibanez – Rosewood), but they sound worlds apart. The Suhr is just so much more resonant and clear. The acoustics are much more even and ‘real’ sounding. The neck is much more to my liking also. Now don’t get me wrong, the J Custom was nice, especially considering the price I got mine at ($1250 brand new!!!), but my money is on the Suhr.

If I'd have seen that floyded 7 string with the Blackouts you just posted before I bought an Ibanez NOS J Custom 7, I certainly would have considered it heavily... I was just so disallusioned with custom builders that I gave up and went for this:

J Custom 7 String

Hey... BTW - Juggs - Do you do bolt on neck 7s?
