Suhr Classic S Antique Olympic White

Perhaps one of the most beautiful combinations: a Classic S Antique with Olympic White Finish!

Suhr's Classic S line combines the best of two eras. These S-type guitars have the same feel, mojo, and sound as vintage models from the 1950s and 1960s. At the same time, John Suhr and his close-knit team designed the series to be as reliable, accurate, and stable as possible. This way, even the most demanding guitarist can enjoy those recognizable, classic sounds and feel without interruption! The Classic S Antique models, with their less hot pickups, nitrocellulose lacquer, and firmer neck profile, lean even further towards the previous century.

"Your New Old Friend" is how John Suhr himself describes his Classic S Antique line. We couldn't have thought of a better slogan, because these guitars truly feel and sound from the very first minute, as if you've been playing them daily for years. This starts with the nitrocellulose lacquer and the tasteful aging, as well as the inviting Vintage Medium C neck profile. This is a neck that feels like it's already completely made to your liking. Plug the guitar in and you're embraced by its balanced and clear tones, made possible in part by the V63 Singlecoils. These are somewhat more modest in output than the V60 pickups found in the regular Classic S models. But as John himself said: the Antique S is also your new friend. Modern upgrades, starting with the unique SSCII noise canceling system. This frees your single coils from that annoying 60-cycle hum. Ideal for recording or performing, and all without batteries! What's more, your guitar stays in tune incredibly well thanks to the Tusq nut and locking tuners, even when you're giving the tremolo a good workout; it was carefully designed by Gotoh. It's clear: this Classic S is a truly perfect blend of old and new!
