We think everyone can agree that there is something special about a guitar that has been played and loved for years. There is nothing quite like the feel of an instrument that has been worn by years of use. These characteristics can be difficult to replicate if you don’t have 30 years to wait. That’s why we designed the Modern Antique. We wanted to preserve the spirit of a well-used instrument while ensuring that it still performs like a Suhr. Impeccable craftsmanship and attention to detail ensure that every neck pocket is tight, every fret is perfectly dressed, and that every instrument is ready for peak performance before leaving our facility.
The nitrocellulose lacquer finish and our proprietary antiquing process make each Modern Antique feel like it has been played and loved for years. The Modern Antique is offered in four vintage-inspired finishes, a satin finished Roasted Maple neck, stainless steel jumbo frets, and a choice of Roasted Maple or Pau Ferro fingerboards.
