About this listing
The Suhr Modern in Faded Trans Whale Blue is a high performance instrument that seamlessly combines refined craftsmanship with uncompromising playability. Every detail has been carefully selected to deliver exceptional tone, effortless precision, and striking visual appeal. Finished in a captivating Faded Trans Whale Blue Burst over a beautifully figured flame maple top, this guitar balances modern sophistication with timeless elegance. The natural swamp ash body enhances the organic beauty of the wood, while the gloss finish highlights the dramatic figuring and vibrant burst. Scraped binding provides a clean, premium edge that frames the carved top with understated class.
Built from a resonant two piece swamp ash body and topped with a two piece 3/16 inch flame maple cap, the Modern offers a lively, articulate voice with excellent balance across the frequency spectrum. Comfort is equally impressive thanks to Suhr's signature arm, hand, and tummy contours, allowing the guitar to feel naturally connected to the player whether standing or seated. The non chambered construction preserves a focused response with outstanding sustain and punch, making it equally suited for expressive clean passages and high gain performance.
The oil finished pau ferro neck provides an exceptionally smooth and natural playing experience, encouraging effortless movement across the fingerboard. Its Modern Elliptical profile measures .800 to .850 inches, creating a comfortable shape that feels fast without sacrificing substance. The matching pau ferro fingerboard features a compound 10 to 14 inch radius, allowing comfortable chord work in the lower positions while facilitating effortless bends and low action higher up the neck. Twenty four jumbo stainless steel frets deliver exceptional durability and a consistently smooth playing surface, while brass side dots and elegant brass ring face dot inlays add refined visual accents without distracting from the instrument's clean aesthetic.
Performance driven hardware complements the guitar's premium construction. A recessed Gotoh Floyd Rose tremolo in a gold finish offers remarkable tuning stability and expressive pitch control, while the Floyd locking nut and Suhr locking tuners work together to maintain precise tuning even during the most demanding performances. Gold hardware throughout, including the side mounted input jack, strap buttons, control knobs, and tuners, creates a luxurious contrast against the vibrant blue finish and black headstock with its gloss finish and gold laser logo.
The pickup configuration provides exceptional versatility without compromising power. An Aldrich zebra humbucker in the neck position delivers warm, articulate tones with impressive clarity, while the Aldrich zebra bridge pickup produces aggressive output, tight low end, and singing lead tones that excel in rock and modern high gain applications. Positioned between them is a V60LP single coil in black, adding vintage inspired sparkle, chime, and dynamic response. A five way blade selector provides seamless access to a broad range of voices, while the master volume and tone controls keep operation intuitive. The push pull tone control splits both humbuckers, expanding the tonal palette with convincing single coil textures for greater flexibility across countless musical styles.
Finished with black satin rear cavity covers, rear routed electronics, and factory strung with .010 to .046 gauge strings in E Standard tuning, this Suhr Modern arrives ready for professional performance. Weighing just 8 lbs 5 oz, it offers an outstanding balance of comfort and sustain, making it equally at home in the studio, on stage, or in the practice room. Complete with a premium hardshell case, this instrument represents Suhr's dedication to world class craftsmanship, delivering inspiring tone, flawless playability, and elegant aesthetics in a guitar built to perform at the highest level.
