Suhr was untouchable when Ed was there but these days I'm hearing stories of guys waiting 12 months for a guitar and it being shipped with the wrong specs. When they built my amp they were great but subsequent emails have gone unanswered, business must be too good?!

I mean, I love my Gibson Historics more then any other guitar, when you find the right one...but no way in hell Fender or Gibson Customs compare to the quality you find in a Suhr, Anderson, Melancon, etc.... Im not saying you can't find one as good, but whereas Suhr makes it 100% right every time Gibson and Fender almost always find ways to cheap out or muck something up.
I understand why PRS is named in here but once again they are not up there with true independent luthiers. Just aren't. Probably more about volume then anything else. There is a reason why John Suhr is so far back on his orders. Because he prefers to do it right 100% of the time as opposed to pumping out massive amounts of guitar.
I get the feeling people are just writing down what guitars they own as opposed to being objective![]()
