The first time I ever went guitar shopping back in the mid 90's, there was this olympic white 60's hotrodded strat. It had a tinted flame maple neck, rosewood fretboard, pretty much identical to this except with single coil pickups and the Fender headstock. I wanted that guitar sooooo badly, but it was too expensive. FINALLY - I scored my dream Suhr.
I know this is very modest compared to all the nice, exotic and far more expensive Suhrs on Rig-Talk, but this is exactly the one I've always wanted. It was the flame maple neck that sealed the deal because it reminds me so much of that strat. Another bonus is the low noise system built in for the single coils. I love single coils but hate the hum, so this is a fantastic feature.
Man I kind of don't like these threads because it might sound like bragging or something, but there's a story behind this and it's just so damned exciting that I had to share it. These pics are borrowed (with permission) until it gets here and I can take my own.
It takes weeks to get all the parts for a new build, and several hours leveling/recrowning/dressing frets, soldering electronics, drilling, setting up action, etc... This time, I wanted something of equal quality to my builds without having to do all the work. Funny thing is that this kind of fell in my lap literally right when I was about the pull the trigger on a Varius. I still plan on getting a Varius though. Anyway, without further ado, here are some pics:
