Description

The Suhr Standard Carve Top Pau Ferro Neck – Trans Amber is a masterpiece of modern luthiery, a testament to John Suhr’s relentless pursuit of sonic perfection. With a legacy spanning decades, Suhr has been a defining force in the electric guitar industry, pushing the boundaries of craftsmanship, playability, and tonal versatility.

This Standard Carve Top is a prime example of that excellence. The Mahogany body provides a warm, resonant foundation, while the breathtaking Quilt Maple top adds a touch of brilliance and aesthetic grandeur, finished in a mesmerizing Trans Amber hue. Designed with hand and tummy contours, it offers unmatched comfort, making extended playing sessions effortless. The neck—crafted from Pau Ferro—features a Pau Ferro fretboard with a 60’s C Vintage Standard profile (.810 - .930), 10”-14” compound radius, and an oil finish, ensuring an ultra-smooth, fast-playing feel. The frets, 22 Jumbo stainless steel, deliver effortless bending and long-lasting durability.

A true tonal beast, this guitar is loaded with gold Thornbucker pickups in the neck and bridge, offering the perfect blend of vintage warmth and modern clarity. The Wilkinson WVS 130 – 2-post tremolo with locking saddles and steel block, paired with Suhr locking gears, guarantees rock-solid tuning stability, even under aggressive playing. The gold hardware, abalone logo inlay, and intricate abalone side and ring face dots elevate this instrument into the realm of pure artistry. Every detail—from the precision-cut Tusq nut (1.650” width) to the Volume, Tone, and 5-way blade switch—is engineered to inspire.

Weighing in at 8 lbs 10 oz, this guitar is not just an instrument; it's a statement—a perfect fusion of form, function, and tone. With an included hard case, the Suhr Standard Carve Top Pau Ferro Neck – Trans Amber is an heirloom-quality guitar built for the discerning player who demands the best.
