NGD Suhr Alt T Pro

simonk

So, I walked into my local with the intention of walking out with a Collings I35LC... however, as lush as it was, what I actually ended up bringing home was this Suhr Alt T Pro. Love it so far, such a toneful, useful guitar.

Nice! I'm gassing for a classic antique. Has this got the silent system?

DrCornelius

Was that the one in Project Music ? I've drooled over that a few times if so !

@mgaw it's really lovely mate.

@koss59 nope, I think you only get that on the all single coil models.

That's me being stupid, didn't click it was two buckers.
Looks great though.

@DrCornelius it was... now it's hanging in my front room

DrCornelius

Tres lovely that

MrSwanson

Snap! Have the same finish too! 

Only thing is that the pickup covers have tarnished really quickly.

Love it!

Looks great, especially the neck.

Gigged it last night and loved it! Lively, resonant, a joy to play, extremely comfortable (due to the slightly reduced weight I guess) and the range of sounds available from the Thornbuckers was terrific.

However, in a bizarre twist I've been offered to opportunity to swap it for the same guitar but in sonic blue, which is a brand new colour for that model. I'm torn as I'm a sucker for sonic and daphne blue. What do you think Fretboarders..?

Damn that is nice! I might've gone for that if they' been out at the same time. But I do love maple fretboards though..

Sonic blue and red tort...nom!

Go for the blue

simonk

Hmm, so tempting... it does look right in sunburst though, suits that style of guitar I think. The f hole possibly looks a bit prominent on the blue and I'm less enamoured with the rosewood board.
Christ, I hate making decisions!

I really like Sonic Blue - especially on rosewood board Strats - but I'm not wholly convinced by it on that guitar....

thomasross20

Nooooo yours is much nicer!

Sunburst for this particular guitar

FWIW I much prefer the look of the sunburst one. A personal thing, I know, but for me the blue is just not so good on this model. Sunburst has the pure class I associate with Suhr

Lovely guitar! If it was a strat I'd go for the blue, but sunburst on this tele for me.
