A truly stunning blend of elegance, sonic character, and custom craftsmanship, the Suhr Standard - Rosewood Neck / Black Gradient is an extraordinary expression of modern boutique guitar building. Drenched in refined aesthetic and built to be both a performance powerhouse and a collector’s dream, this instrument is a knockout from every angle.

The body is carved from a 2-piece mahogany back, delivering a naturally warm and resonant tonal foundation. Topping it is a 2-piece quilted maple cap, whose rippling figure dances beneath a mesmerizing Black Gradient finish — subtly fading from deep shadow into glimmering light, it’s both dramatic and tasteful. Sculpted contours for the arm, hand, and torso make this instrument incredibly comfortable against the body, whether seated or standing.

The neck and fingerboard are both carved from Indian rosewood, a rare luxury choice that brings a uniquely smooth feel and organic tone. Finished in oil rather than gloss or poly, this neck maintains a silky, broken-in feel right out of the case — no stickiness, just effortless playability. The 60's C Vintage Standard profile (.810” - .930”), paired with a compound 9”–12” radius, provides a familiar and adaptable feel that welcomes everything from intricate chords to high-speed leads. Brass side and ring face dots enhance visibility and lend a touch of old-world charm.

Hardware is decked out in gold, with a TonePros TP6 bridge ensuring rock-solid tuning stability and sustain, and Suhr locking tuners making string changes a breeze while keeping everything dialed in. The SSV humbucker in the neck delivers smooth, articulate warmth for clean passages and vintage-flavored overdrive, while the SSH in the bridge brings bite, clarity, and plenty of power for modern gain tones. With a 5-way blade, you have an impressively versatile sonic palette, perfect for studio work or live performance.

Other premium appointments include a 1.650” Tusq nut, 22 medium stainless steel frets for long-lasting precision, a gold-outline Suhr decal, and a hard case to keep it all safe. Weighing in at a comfortable 7 lbs 5 oz, this Suhr feels alive and balanced in the hands.

The Suhr Standard in Black Gradient with a Rosewood Neck is far more than eye candy — it’s a performance instrument through and through, built to inspire and empower serious players across styles. Whether you're chasing tone, beauty, or both, this guitar delivers in every category.
