Suhr Select Modern T Mahogany Guitar, Bengal Burst
- DESCRIPTION
The Suhr Select Modern T Mahogany guitars are a collaboration between Humbucker Music and Suhr and is available in very limited numbers. The Modern T Select was designed to bring the craftsmanship and quality of Suhr's Modern T line of guitars to a more affordable price while providing the player with some of Suhr's most popular appointments. If you were to custom order is guitar from Suhr it would cost $4700 with an approximate 14 month lead time.
This guitar sports a beautiful Flamed Maple top that when combined with the Okoume body, Mahogany neck, and Thornbucker pickups delivers a fat, well-balanced tone. Smooth without any harsh overtones.
For this run of our exclusive Modern T Select, we chose to replace the rosewood fingerboard with ebony with abalone dots. We also went with a black painted headstock face with an inlayed abalone Suhr logo!
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. These guitars are light, toneful and perfectly balanced.
About the Select Series: So what is the difference between a Suhr Custom Modern T and a Modern T Select? Nothing! The Modern T Select is a fixed spec guitar with different finishes. With Suhr Custom guitars, you can practically customize every spec of your guitar. The Modern T Select guitars use the most common specs requested by players, allowing the EXACT same quality as a Custom, but at a better price.

About the pickups in this guitar: Suhr ThornBucker Pickups are designed out of a need for a no-compromise, consistent set of 50's Gibson PAF style pickups with none of the downsides associated with them. 50's Gibson PAF humbucker pickups have long since been coveted for their exceptional tone and ability to play both clean and dirty. With inspiration from Pete Thorn, Suhr has brought us the perfect set of PAF pickups, while also bringing them into the modern age. The ThornBucker pickups have 4 conductor wiring (ability to coil tap) and a variety of spacing options.
