- For my Presets visit: johnnathancordy.gumroad.com/ Jason Wade's Suhr Classic Antique Limited Edition Ice Blue Metallic! There were 200 of these metallic Nitro Classic Antiques made - they have some lovely aged Nitro with beautiful checking.
More importantly, the guitar plays really well, and I think I like the slightly hotter character of the ML Neck and Middle pickups, which have plenty of sparkle to them.

Yo gotta bring the bacon bro
I’ll try and remember next time I buy something (which is rare, but still!).
The quality of the Suhr instruments is second to none.
So is their prices. I mean they are great but how much does one have to pay for a bolt on, flat cut, plastic pickguard strat with import japan hardware?
I wish they had proprietary hardware like Anderson, EBMM, and PRS since they charge equal or more than those companies for a simpler constructed guitar.
@@0megalul309 They use their own tuners and pickups - only the bridges are third-party (afaik)
Glad you have taken a Shine to it, it's a special one for sure. One of those where there's just something about it, that sets it apart from the others. Sorry for the extreme packing...but before jumping to the technological world I worked in shipping for 20+ years...hahahaha! Nice to see someone make it sound like it should sound. Cheers John!
How do the Suhrs and K-lines compare to each other?
Hey Bill! “Strictly My Opinion”
Suhr guitars and K Line guitars are both in that class/level of about as good as you can get for that price level.
I truly believe once you reach a certain level of craftsmanship that it changes to which bells and whistles you’d rather have over the other.
Both brands will retain most of their resale value
Both are made with the highest standards and quality control in mind
Both in the used market are relatively the same in price depending on the model you prefer.
New Custom order K Line’s in the US are around $2700-$3000
New Suhr’s are $2400-$3800 (depending on the model)
Suhr are typically seen as a modern S Type guitar
K Line’s typically lean towards the more traditional S Type.
If you ordered a Custom Spec guitar from either brand that was exactly what you wanted to the “T”, I can’t see you being disappointed in either one you would received.
Hope that is as clear as mud for you now? 😂
But to be honest…it’s all subjective.
Like the age old which battle of who’s better? Ford or Chevy
✌🏻👍🏻
Hey Jason! Beautiful Guitar and perfect packing.
@@JasonWadeGuitar Thanks Jason. I’ve never been able to compare the two. I got to spend a little time with a Suhr Modern and a K-line Truxton. Both great guitars, but too different to draw any conclusions. The Truxton was exceptional.
Welcome to the club bro. You can't go wrong with a Suhr. I've been playing them for years. Well done as always 👏 👍
I have two Suhr guitars - an S3 and a Modern Pro. They are the best guitars I’ve ever played. The quality and sound are just perfect
Arguably, your most Tasty Playing I have ever heard = absolutely fantastic my friend. I purchased a Suhr Custom S with Lollar Dirty Blonde's and the fabulous Gotoh 510 Trem system, S.S. Frets, Roasted maple neck, Locking tuners - I immediately Sold my Vintage Fender Stratocaster . . . There was No comparison. "Big Facts"
2:33 A nice Waves quote... and the guitar isn't bad either.
Wow, this middle singlecoil is great! Beauthiful guitar.
I think John is just particularly fond of that shade of blue😂
Great playing sir.
Great playing and tone!
Love my hss Anderson. Had a few Suhr guitars but TA works for me.
Magnificent playing
fantasic playing, and guitar of course
That thing is sick. My friend has a white Suhr strat with a bridge bucker and a rosewood neck. It’s one of the best feeling guitars I’ve picked up. And far out of my price range. He’s a blues psychiatrist and has five Gibsons. Haha.
Love my Classic T Suhr!
I appreciate all your content but seeing you wield that big ass knife is my favorite thing I've seen on your channel
It's such a rubbish implement for any kind of safe box opening. It's perfect
What a beautiful playing !
i alway want to get one of this shur guitar but they too expensive for me right now :D
the waves nod was class, grouse tones!
So good!
YOU sir need to try their "Tele" style with modern carve for easy access when it's time to SHRED. I have an Andy Wood Sig model that I JUST LOVE.
Suhr should have cheap, far-eastern alternatives for their range. They could call the brand Squhrier
Squhrier?🤔😅😅😅👍
How bout ‘Shur‘
@@mountainman8775 not bad!Also Suhriphone is not bad! Or Suhrley Benton!😅😅
@@Shashli4ok Don‘t call me ‘Shurley‘
@@mountainman8775 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The tuning stability on my sonic blue classic S is so great… main reason it’s my only electric (well that and the price). You sound amazing on this one…
Agree - the Tuning stability on my Suhr is "Off the Charts" - it's honestly difficult to knock-it Out of Tune. It's a Tone Machine !!! How wicked was his playing in this video? He impresses me (possibly) More than any guitarist on You Tube.
@@michael_caz_nyc I’m a big fan of no string trees. I’ve also added the Wilkinson locking saddles from the Pete Thorn Suhr plus a covered asatobucker in the bridge. I’m a lefty so would pounce on a k line if I saw one for the vintage tone but lefties can’t be choosers!
Someone has been listening to Waves by GG! Stellar playing mate!
The ML pickups are my favorite.
Oh that Wave quote :O
man oh man…you need to do a little something with Pliny…it’d be pure heaven!!
Awesome axe!
Tasty playing as always, nice guitar too, seemed like you were enjoying that neck, how did it compare with the k-line?
I like the 3 single coils and slightly more traditional k-line overall, but i do really like the idea of the neck/access that the suhr offers, both are out of my current budget - but one can dream….
Right at the end of your improv I swear it reminded me of a Guthrie govan song
If you only want to buy one guitar and skip past all the potential regretful purchases, just get a Suhr.
Agree 100%
Nice nod to waves at 2:33
A Wave at Waves!
Awesome looking guitar, can see the high end craftsmanship in the video.
Btw what fret size are they, any ideas?
Also you said for touring musicians a lot have humbucker in bridge but not you, you like single coil.
Why is that?
I have found I can never get a decent rock sound with a single coil in bridge unless it’s due to my sub par pickups 😃
She’s beautiful!
Hi John, very tasty. What effects unit are you using on the solo?
I think this is the best knife I ever seen to open guitars.😅😅😅
Would love to get my hands on this guitar but can't find it in that color anywhere on the used market for a while :(
Nice. Had a Classic Pro but sold it. Regret it a bit but found it a little heavy and also a tad too “perfect”. I probably would have liked the Antique more. Makes no sense but yes. I get more vibe and joy from my Music Man Cutlass (an underrated modern vintage strat inspired gem).
Great playing as always! How does this suhr stack up against your favourite K-line strat?
The Suhrs have a bit more of a modern feel. It's a bit heavier too, hotter pickups, but lovely!
Really nice guitar and skills ! Which pick ups are loaded on this suhr ?
Stock pickups -" The ML (Mike Landau) Standard single-coil pickup is overwound for more output and sustain and features our proprietary modified staggered pole piece design to provide an even magnetic field. The SSV has a broad sonic aperture with very little compression, making for a dynamic, vintage output humbucker. "
What are you thoughts in regards to preferring a single coil for the bridge pick-up?
Being also a SSS user, the musicians around me who uses SSH has been trying to convert me by using the same point that you did (less thin bridge pick-up sound). Interested to see other points of view. Thanks!
The Suhr wiring scheme is really clever and it makes it so that when you are in position 2 the pickups see a lower value from the pots and then when you switch to the bridge you get the full 500k. Helps a lot & these guitars sound surprisingly good in the bridge + middle for a SSH guitar.
Any idea how low the action is at the 22nd fret? I've got a 2016 Classic Antique Pro that I have set to 4/64 on all six strings, and it's great. Just wondering if I can get away with it being lower.
@Przemek Luck of the draw I guess. Since I first asked the question above, I've lowered my action down to 3/64 for all six strings. It's handled it like a champ. No buzzing, and it plays like butter. String tension is fine. In fact the tension on my American Ultra Tele that I got in August is a little bit higher than my Suhr. Still extremely playable/comfortable, though, because of the neck and 10"-14" fretboard radius.
Man ! You are uploading videos really fast.
Which Audio interface do you use?
How do you find the Stainless Steel frets on the Suhr compared to the nickel on the K-Line John?
I’ve always liked the Suhr’s I’ve played, from memory, the have a smooth slinky feel. Going to order a Warmoth neck, just wondering whether to go for the SS frets. Makes sense but having last minute decision issues!
I actually have a Warmoth neck with stainless frets on it - czcams.com/video/ZwMCqPzQmZo/video.html they feel wonderful!!
@@johnnathancordy Thanks, good to know, will check that out.
Do you like the Humbuckers?
Turn the open end of the box to the floor, lift the outside box, let gravity do the work. So much easier…
Few thoughts; one I really think the MLs work better with these than some of their other offerings. I never really got along with the v60 ones. Also some of them do come with cases (my Mateus Asato sig did). The Even C medium is my favorite shape from them. I think you should send Jason a check back instead of the guitar :D
I didn't realise you had bought a Matues Sig? That might be one of the other great Suhrs I'd put on the list....
@@johnnathancordy Yeah these last two months have been a real falling off the wagon guitar buying set for me. The Suhr, an Eastman double cut Junior and a second SVL but this one has a maple fretboard. Im done though I promse
A noble effort
@@TCMx3 How does the SVL compare to everything else?
@@billgreen3629 more like vintage than anything else I've tried. That's not the same as better, but they do sound like the old ones genuinely
How would you compare Suhr strat with Silversky? Other than the fretboard radius and the bridge pickup. Just for the joy of playing, practicality & so on. I am currently tore between Suhr Antique HSS / Silver Sky. I know I will get more use out of Suhr for my gigs, (due to the bridge pickup), and I am more familiar with the neck feel of Suhr. (I have Suhr standard HH) But that Silver Sky neck pickup felt incredible. There is also a price diffence too. (Suhr will be roughly $1000 more from the deals I'm looking at). I am originally Les Paul & Super Strat HH guy, but I've been into Sinlge coil sounds and looking for a good strat. I know both are great guitars and I can't really go wrong either ways, but your input will definately help me look at different perspective.
Oh really is the Silver Sky that much cheaper than the Suhr for you?
The Silver Sky that I played (US model) was really really nice. I'd put it up there with a Suhr? The neck on the Silver Sky is I think one of its best features, but the Suhr stuff is definitely more "normal" with the radius etc. Maybe try and get your hands on a Silver Sky and see if you like it or not?
@@johnnathancordy It's 'cause I have found used silver sky that is listed locally, but the Suhr I am looking at needs to cross border (I live in Canada).
I already did tried the Silver Sky and really liked it, (especially the neck pickup) but that radius did gave me bit hard time and I am not yet sure how much I will get use out of it in practical situations since I rely on bridge humbuckers a lot.
Thing is I never tried Suhr HSS and its SSCii system, and it was the guitar I've been looking for some time that popped up on Reverb. I guess I feel since paying shipping + duty etc cost me bit more than what the instrument is actually worth.
Tbh I was never a strat guy (long time Les Paul user), but recently felt needs & wants for neck singles and position 2 & 4 sounds.
I feel the silver sky is pretty good deal but bit worried I will never get use to the neck radius and the bridge pick up.. and will look for the Suhr HSS again. Which is really hard to find a good deal accessible from where I live.
I guess what I wanted to ask you is that how the Suhr HSS is in relation to the Silver Sky. I know it is a vague question but anything helps!
Btw, your playing is really phenominal and you watching your videos actually inspired to try single coils more 🤣
So - how does it compare to your blue k-line?? Could this (or a Suhr like this but with a single coil in the bridge) replace your #1??
No sir!!!
Has the Bridge PU been changed? I think they originally had uncovered SSV’s…
Hey Mel! So yes - when Jason bought this, the original owner had swapped out the original pickups for a set of Lindy Fralins - Jason liaised with Suhr and returned it back to spec, but asked for a covered SSV instead!
Thanks John! I almost bought that very guitar, wish I did!!!
Is the neck wider than the normal Classic S?
I know you really like your K-Line guitars. Just curious how the price (and quality) of a Suhr compares to a K-Line in the UK? Any chance you’ll become a “Suhr guy”?
They're on a par I think quality-wise and probably about similar price-wise. It wouldn't replace my K-Lines - perhaps Jason is the better guy to ask actually since he has a few K-lines too?
Personally my SE Silver Sky with stainless steel mod and noiseless pickups felt better than my Suhr Classic S HSS lol
So are we Cordites (I’m trademarking that) just sending you our guitars now?
I think just Jason!
@@johnnathancordy phew! I’ll call off GLS, then. Could not stand to be without my Guthrie😅
I can hear the waves of gg hehe
That’s not a knife. THIS is a knife! 🔪
have you ever tried haar guitars?
I haven't - they look great!
You might try them out; would like to hear your opinion on those :) They are custom shop quality guitars with the price of an american fender
Is it really a surprise that your favorite Suhr is an Ice blue S type though?
There are no surprises anymore. Just Ice Blue guitars
Maybe, for you, it’s just that color? 😉
Classic Antique Limited…. Seems like they need a few more adjectives in that name.
you've got the same guitar as me now can you not
Don't worry about it son this is the right way round
@@johnnathancordy on a side note the insane quality of the ML pickups are a well kept secret don't post about them too much or you will disappear.
NGD?
Not mine!
@@johnnathancordy Ahh that is a shame.
I thought you changed your mind about humbuckers..?
Huh? Would still prefer a single coil
@@johnnathancordy 😝
Do you see what I mean now when I say that I don't think kLine is worth the money, not that it's not good, just for the price you could have a much better guitar
Who said it was better than any of my K-Lines?
Also I think it's about as opposite an approach as you could get - Suhr has over 100 employees...They're not a boutique builder and haven't been for years
@@johnnathancordy well, I have found that a team built guitar is almost always better sounding and playing then a master built. You want the guy who only does necks all day to do your necks, same thing with set up and paint and pickups. With one builder, they usually get impatient and overlook things, plus they don't have the hours of experience with each component. I will put My team built fender custom shop against any John Cruz master built fender any day! One more thing about suhr, I have own several, but I do prefer models that are over 10 years old, when the company was smaller. When a company gets too big they stop caring, luckily fender custom shop is a small separate department still
@@BobbyCulpepper.srv3fender not really sure what you mean then - for the price of a K Line you can't get a Fender CS or a Suhr? Not that there's anything wrong with a Fender CS or a Suhr, but they're reliably more expensive...
@@johnnathancordy the fender custom shop reference was more about small company builders verses one guy. But in the States, a K-line sells for almost the same as a Suhr Classic
in this video you can not hear that it is an expensive and good guitar.
I’ve never heard anyone say…”this is the shittiest Suhr I’ve ever played “…..just saying!!!
Lol - I may have said it about a Suhr Modern I tried in a shop once....
@@johnnathancordy ….hahahahaha
A sterilised Stratocaster.
It depends on your definition of a Stratocaster. It's just a different vision, more reliable workhorses to me. My Suhr custom made by master builder Kenny Gin has nothing to envy to any Fender master built i've tried, for a fraction of the price.
