NGD: Suhr Custom 7 String #2 (Trans Whale Blue)

[technomancer]

Wow that's gorgeous

 

[HighGain510]

Suhr is extremely accommodating. I've asked for things they don't offer and was told to just send the parts in. I wouldn't expect them to use a Hannes bridge as that might require significant work, but pickups or tuners or custom finishes seem to be no problem.

Man if they built a Suhr with a Hannes I'd be in trouble...

Gorgeous guitar Chris, congrats! Are hipshot tuners the default tuner option on the 7's, or was that another preference thing? I could have sworn I've seen those on other 7's they've built, curious if it was a decision made by John Suhr?

 

[Richie666]

Whoa, it looks like the fretboard is a boat wading through water. Gorgeous!

 

[Fred the Shred]

Does that mean you're finally sending the Strandberg to me?

Jokes aside, beautiful instrument, man!

 

[2ManyShoes]

Oooh, dat NECK!

 

[TraE]

A Suhr with a Hannes does exist

That's quite impressive looking. I must say, I've seen you play your Shermans, a Strandberg, and an Artinger, and this makes for quite a nice stable of guitars!

Permit me to gush a little: STS changed my overall direction of guitar playing and was the reason for me getting my first seven. Saw you guys in Boston and, though the show itself was awesome, sorry you guys had to play in such a dark hole that reeked of beer soaked wood with a farty PA system. It was the first show I've been out to in years and was well worth it. Truly can't wait for the next STS album and (perhaps) a transcription to Redwoods?

Anyhow, awesome guitar, man. I've got a rosewood neck blank just waiting for me to design a good seven around it. I didn't even know Pao Ferro neck blanks existed. Thanks for the visual (and musical) inspiration!

Thanks a lot guys!

Thanks dude, thats all awesome to hear.

Sweet finish, but what's up with the mini-toggle switch? That's not the pickup selector, is it?

Looks like it is. What's wrong with a mini toggle for pickups?

 

[Mattmc74]

Congrats!

 

[BenEllerGuitars]

Damn Chris, nice! Can't wait to see (and hear) it in action!

 

[ChrisLetchford]

Suhr finally sent me the model shots!

 

[Captain Butterscotch]

Wow! That neck looks awesome in every pic. I am definitely going to try this on one of my builds.

 

[Bandersnatch]

dat quilt

 

[TemjinStrife]

It looks like the neck pickup is being pushed through the ocean, with that sort of "bow wave" ^-shaped line in the figuring!

 

[Tyler]

dibs if you sell it

looks absolutely stunning!
