Suhr Classic S Antique Roasted HSS

Suhr Classic S Antique HSS – Factory Nitro / Medium Aging

Offered for sale is a top-tier Suhr Classic S Antique, built in the USA with Suhr’s uncompromising attention to detail.

This is not a modified guitar and not an aftermarket relic — it is a factory Antique model, designed from day one to age naturally and musically.

The guitar features a nitrocellulose lacquer finish with medium factory aging, which has developed beautiful, organic finish checking over time. This is a hallmark of real nitro finishes and one of the reasons these instruments feel alive in the hands.

This guitar delivers everything a great Strat-style instrument should — clarity, dynamics, and responsiveness — while adding extra punch and versatility thanks to the Thornbucker Plus in the bridge.

• The V63 single coils provide authentic vintage sparkle with excellent note separation

• The Thornbucker Plus adds fullness and authority without losing articulation

• The SSCII system keeps the guitar impressively quiet, even in high-gain or studio environments

The roasted woods and stainless steel frets result in: • Fast attack

• Strong sustain

• Exceptional tuning stability

• Minimal maintenance over time

This is a guitar that feels broken-in, resonant, and inspiring from the first chord.
