Suhr Custom Classic T - Black Burst

The Suhr Custom Classic T in Black Burst is a masterful fusion of timeless tradition and meticulous modern craftsmanship, built by one of the most influential names in the guitar world—John Suhr. Known for redefining high-performance electric guitars, Suhr’s legacy spans decades of innovation, elite craftsmanship, and a relentless pursuit of sonic perfection. The Custom Classic T is a testament to that legacy, elevating the iconic T-style guitar with refined aesthetics, flawless playability, and versatile tonal range.

This striking instrument features a 2-piece Alder body wrapped in a stunning Black Burst finish, complemented by white top binding that adds a bold, elegant contrast. The body is contoured by hand, offering a more organic feel against the player while maintaining the timeless silhouette. A gorgeously figured roasted flame maple neck and fretboard add visual warmth and stability, enhanced by a smooth satin finish for a broken-in feel right out of the case. The 60’s “C” Vintage Standard neck profile (.810” - .930”), combined with a 9”-12” compound radius and jumbo stainless-steel frets, delivers exceptional comfort and effortless playability across all styles.

The appointments are both refined and functional: abalone face dots, black side dots, and a mother-of-pearl logo on the original Suhr headstock give the guitar a classy, custom-shop appearance. Suhr locking tuners and a Wilkinson 3-saddle Classic T bridge offer modern tuning stability and intonation accuracy while preserving vintage tone and feel. Under the hood, the Woodshed single-coil pickups—raw in the neck and black in the bridge—serve up dynamic, articulate tones with just the right amount of vintage grit, backed by Suhr’s SSCII noise reduction system for a hum-free playing experience.

With a practical control layout—Volume, Tone, and a 3-way blade switch—and weighing just 7 lbs 10 oz, the Suhr Custom Classic T is as comfortable on stage as it is in the studio. Housed in a high-quality hard case, this guitar isn’t just an instrument; it’s a professional-grade tool born from decades of mastery, ready to inspire your next great performance.
