I agree with the OP, if you buy one of those you are a stupid dumb head.

Check out my new guitar :) Sorry I couldn't resist.

I just can't get over how damn ugly the headstock is on Suhrs. Most of them are bolt ons anyway.

Your point? What is so bad about bolt-ons? A lot of "you" people tend to forget that there is a flip-side to that coin as well. I share the same opinion as John Suhr, in that I never played a neck-thru that I thought sounded great. I'd take a bolt-on (or set-neck) over a neck-thru anyday. I just don't see anything special about neck-thrus. You might find them to be superior.....I personally, do not.

Suhr guitars play like a dream, but I haven't seen one that's my cup of tea. I couldn't really warrant spending that much on a production guitar, but the people who play Suhr are often fanatics, with good reason.

Kinda like this, ya...

I've spoken at length about the fact I was after a single coil strat tone and tried a multitude of Strat propers (Fender) and I just couldn't get along with any of them... No idea why. I mentioned this to my distributor, and in a week I had a Suhr S4 with limited edition curled maple top. He said 'try it, if ya like it, keep it, if not, send 'er back'.

It looks like a strat, has single coils like a strat, has a maple bolt on neck like a strat, has a toggle and pick guard like a strat, has a headstock like a strat...

But DAMN that thing plays like NO strat I had ever picked up before. It was an instant keeper - and I have NO idea how it is it plays and feels so different than any of the Fender Strats I'd tried for years before...

Beats da shit outta me :dunno: but I'm stoked on playing it :yes:

And that is what its all about right there...finding that certain piece that works for you :thumbsup:

But you forgot to say that it has "mojo" :D

:hys:

Well, that's because this one's more about the 'funky shit' than it is 'the mojo'. But ya, it's got a little mojo fo'shizzle :lol: :LOL:

It's transparent :hys:

I'm outta here... :salute:
