Description

The Suhr Modern Black Limba/Quilt Maple - Trans Seafoam Green is a masterclass in boutique craftsmanship, a testament to John Suhr’s relentless pursuit of sonic perfection and playability. As one of the most influential figures in the modern guitar world, John Suhr has shaped the tone and feel of contemporary high-performance instruments, blending vintage soul with forward-thinking precision. This particular model is a stunning showcase of that philosophy. It features a visually striking two-piece Black Limba body topped with an exquisite two-piece quilt maple cap, all bathed in a luscious Transparent Seafoam Green finish that lets the figured wood breathe and shine. The roasted flame maple neck, with a satin finish and ebony fretboard, delivers silky smooth playability, enhanced further by the extra rolled edges and a comfortable Modern Elliptical profile (.800" - .850") with a 10"–14" compound radius.

Every detail is dialed in for the ultimate performance—from the 24 heavy stainless steel frets and 1.65" nut width to the sleek Suhr 2-post bridge and locking tuners in gleaming chrome. Under the hood, it’s loaded with a tonal arsenal: chrome Aldrich humbuckers in the neck and bridge positions bring crushing power and clarity, while the V63 Plus single-coil in the middle adds vintage sparkle and versatility. With a 5-way selector, a single volume, and tone control, the tonal range is as deep and dynamic as its aesthetic. The quilted maple headstock, abalone inlay logo, and abalone face rings and side dots add that extra touch of class. Weighing in at 8 lbs 13 oz and coming in a hard case, this Suhr Modern is more than a guitar—it's a statement piece for the discerning player who refuses to compromise.
