Introducing the new Suhr Modern T Pro Guitar line! Once known as the Classic T 24, it was designed to bring the craftsmanship and quality of Suhr's Classic T 24 line of guitars to a more affordable price while providing the player with Suhr's most popular appointments. These guitars are light, toneful and perfectly balanced. Utilizing a Mahogany body and Maple top, a fat, well-balanced tone can be achieved that produces smooth sounds without any harsh overtones. The finishing process provides an unparalleled combination of protection and beauty, while the thinnest possible coats of finish are applied to allow the wood to resonate freely and still provide ample protection.
About the Pro Series: So what is the difference between a Suhr Custom and a Suhr Modern Pro? Nothing! The Modern T Pro is a fixed spec guitar with different finishes. With Suhr Custom guitars, you can practically customize every spec of your guitar. The Modern Pro guitars use the most common specs requested by players, allowing the EXACT same quality as a Custom, but at a better price.

Don't
let the price fool you, the Pro Series is still built to the
same quality
standards you would expect from Suhr, only we just do them in larger
runs to save you a serious chunk of change. These are made with
the same woods, components, hands, and processes (including the PLEK
machine) that make the custom Suhr guitars.
With Custom Suhr Guitars: Each Suhr Custom guitar is
built
precisely to the customer's specs. Special woods, special inlays,
neck shapes, fret sizes, colors, electronics, you name it. That
whole process is a lengthy one and requires lots of special attention
along the way to insure a custom Suhr is *EXACTLY* as the customer
specified. IN addition, the machines that cut cut the necks,
bodies, etc have to be reprogrammed for each guitar. The paint
shop has to change everything up for each individual guitar. You
get the picture.
With Pro Series Suhr Guitars: The specs are all set
and
fixed for the entire run. Same body/neck woods, electronics, neck
shapes, fret sizes, etc. We get together with Suhr and select the
most common specs that customers request for a specific model, change
up the colors a bit for variation, and do a run of 50+ at a time. But
here's where the story gets more interesting... With the pro
series, *EVERY* step of the Pro Series build process is exactly like
the Custom build process. The same pickups, hardware, woods, etc
are used for the Pro series. The same PLEK machines are used on
the Pro Series. The same guys that do the setups and final
finishing on the Customs are the guys who do it on the Pros.
So what does that mean?
It
means if a build spec for a Pro Series guitar matches what you're
wanting, then you'd be crazy not to get the Pro. :) It's
the same guitar. Period. Honestly, it's a steal, and we
think people should take advantage before Suhr comes it it's senses and
does away with the Pro Series. They already had a major price
increase recently on the Pros, which came *after* we scheduled our
special runs, so we're still able to offer them at the old price. After
they're gone, you can expect to see a price increase of $500+ per
Pro Series guitar. No joke... Get them while you can at
these prices.
