The Suhr Modern Custom Is Ready to Perform

Designed to meet the demands of high-performance players, the Suhr Modern Custom Electric Guitar combines premium craftsmanship with top-tier playability. Every detail is carefully selected, starting with the body made of a 2-piece alder with a beautiful figured walnut top, paired with a bolt-on maple neck and a maple fingerboard. This guitar’s natural gloss finish highlights the stunning walnut grain, making it a standout both in look and tone. When you plug into your favorite amp, the Modern Custom springs to life, delivering clarity, power, and dynamic tonal options.

The Thornbucker humbuckers in the neck and bridge positions are engineered to provide an impressive range of tones—from warm, smooth cleans to full-bodied, gritty leads. With a 5-way selector, volume and tone controls, and Suhr’s precision wiring, you’ll experience rich harmonics, punchy mids, and detailed dynamics that suit any style. The sleek design and smooth rolled edges of the Modern Elliptical neck profile allow for effortless fretting, perfect for fast runs and expressive bends.

Ultra-comfortable Neck Profile

At the heart of every great guitar is a neck that feels just right. The Suhr Modern Custom retains Suhr's Modern Elliptical profile, which combines speed with comfort. It’s thin enough for rapid-fire solos but has enough substance to provide stability for chord work and bends. The 10”-14” compound radius on the maple fingerboard ensures smooth playability across all 24 jumbo stainless steel frets.

High-quality Pickups

The Suhr Modern Custom’s Thornbucker humbuckers, with their balanced output and tonal versatility, bring your sound to life. Positioned at the neck and bridge, these pickups are crafted to deliver a harmonious mix of warmth, clarity, and punch. With a 5-way selector switch, you can access a range of tones that adapt to any genre, making this guitar an ideal choice for players who demand both power and nuance.

Built with Premium Materials

Constructed from the finest tonewoods, the Suhr Modern Custom showcases Suhr’s commitment to quality. The alder body and figured walnut top are both lightweight and resonant, perfect for live performance or studio work. The maple neck and fingerboard provide smooth playability, while the black satin control cavity cover and nickel chrome hardware add a touch of modern elegance. This guitar is designed for the road and the stage, offering reliability and style in equal measure.
