The Classic S is designed for the player who wants the ability to produce iconic classic Fender Stratocaster tones while having all the benefits of a custom Suhr guitar. The Classic S features low noise Suhr V60LP pickups, stainless steel frets and modern hardware like Suhr Locking Tuners and a Gotoh 510 Tremolo Bridge! The Classic S is the answer to the demand for a Suhr classic guitar without the antiquing of the Suhr Classic Antique. Each Suhr Classic S goes through the same renowned individual setup process that $10-15k Suhr Custom guitars go through. For the money, these guitars simply CANNOT be beat.
Each Suhr Classic S is built with a two-piece alder body. Alder is known for its rich low and mid-range tonal qualities as well as its lighter overall weight. Suhr takes great care in finishing the body with an ultra "Thin Skin" urethane finish, allowing for the wood to resonate freely while still providing plenty of protection to ensure the longevity of these guitars.The neck is made from quartersawn maple and features a vintage 60's C shape with medium stainless steel frets. The frets feature rolled edges and a 9"-12" compound radius, great for smooth bends. These appointments create a comfortable, fast feeling neck with long lasting playability.

Suhr’s Classic S guitar taps into a powerful musical lineage. The S-shaped guitar is interwoven into rock ’n’ roll’s DNA and synonymous with an ethos of unbridled artistic devotion. Suhr’s take on the tone titan remixes the textbook triple-“S” configuration, opting instead for an H/S/S layout that deploys Suhr’s Alnico V Special magnets to bring its trio of premier tonewoods — alder, maple, and rosewood — to life. With expansive latent tone-crafting potential, Sweetwater’s guitarists are big proponents of the Classic S’s hum-canceling system, eliminating the 60-cycle distraction that plagues many single-coil pickups without compromising tonal character or needing to swap out a battery every so often. When it comes to expression, the Classic S is ready to roar, rocking Suhr’s proprietary locking tuners and a 2-post tremolo to bring multiple dimensions of performance panache right into your grasp.
