Help me decide please - Suhr content

PC_Dave

Right. I’m having a dilemma. I want a Suhr Classic Pro from Peach, as they have the dealer select builds that have the Thornbucker+, ML single coils and roasted maple neck - all of which I want on my guitar. The problem is, I can’t decide what colour to go for. I’ve always had a thing for sunburst/maple neck (Got a classic player in that) , and they have a got a
gorgeous one:

HOWEVER... I keep looking at the Olympic White model with rosewood fretboard, which looks stunning! (They have one with quite a light fretboard, which I really like)

Also quite like the look of the sunburst with rosewood, but not as much as the maple.

The Olympic white one needs a mint green pickguard to look right. That will add another £100 at Suhr’s silly pickguard prices. Hence....sunburst.

I am an Olympic White man myself.  however, if I were you, don't get distracted, get what you originally wanted to get.

Sunburst for me, like being able to see the wood

White no question.

I’d go white too, but the sunburst does look nice.

Yeah I think that’s what I like so much about them

The Burst. 
I think the ML singles sound better with a maple neck.

I agree white would win with a different pick-guard, not keen on the white on white.  But I prefer rosewood to maple, always.

Sims will make you a custom pick guard to the exact dimensions of the Suhr one if you send the original to them. I did this recently for a Suhr T-style with P90s that I own. The cost was about half what Suhr themselves quoted.

That’s good to know - I had a feeling they sound brighter with the maple given the demo Peach did.

I prefer the white one, but I HATE the look of a black humbucker on an all white guitar so that would have to go.

I've never really understood the popularity of Olympic White, but in this case I think it looks better than the sunburst.

Both look good, but I would go for sunburst. Seems a shame to not see the grain on a guitar at that price.

Go and play them both and go for the one that sounds and feels better!

Unfortunately I don’t have the opportunity to do that.

I'd buy the white so I can put on a dark torty gaurd.
