NGD - Suhr!

guitarblaster

Hey guys, I haven't bought a new guitar in five years since in bought my CS strat! I always wanted an Alt t but have never summoned up courage to get one. It's a 2019 Suhr Alt T in seafoam green. 

I picked it up late last night of a really nice guy who was local to me, only bought new in December. 

The neck on this is great! It's slightly fatter than my CS 1960 relic strat neck, but somehow is way easier to play! It encourages fast playing for sure. The back of the neck feels great, really really smooth. 

I haven't had too long with it but I'm really impressed with the humbuckers! They've got tonnes of articulation, they split wonderfully too but I'm really impressed with just the straight humbucker sound. 

I'll post up some more detailed sound impressions when I've had a bit more time with it!

Very nice

Very nice - I’ve owned one for getting on for 3 years and it compliments my own CS ‘60s Strat very well - as you say it’s very articulate - I could cover pretty much all ground with one of these and a Strat.

Great guitars and regret having to sell mine.

Enjoy it

Thanks for all of the nice comments everyone, good to hear from other owners too! 

I’m really surprised that I seem to be able to play with more accuracy on this neck, sounds weird to say, especially considering that I love the neck on my strat! Nice sanded back on it, 9.5 radius. 

I’m also surprised how easy the transition from playing with single coils to humbuckers has been! I’ve not really had to alter how I play much.

Such a great guitar. Looks ace in that colour.

Ssv humbuckers? I have the neck in one of my guitars and it does split really well. Lots of usable tones. 

guitarblaster

Yeah they’re SSVs!

I'm not big on Suhr guitars, and humbuckers aren't really my thing. 

But thats ace. Love it to pieces. Great work!

Congrats @guitarblaster, stunning looking guitar. Love my custom Alt-T - one of the best purchases I've ever made.

Thanks fellas, been playing it more today and I can see this becoming my main guitar, where when I bought it, the thinking was my strat was still gonna be my go to guitar! Unexpected for sure, it's down to how versatile it is and how good the playability is.

@Wazmeister will tell you how versatile these can be - he adores his. He was the reason I got one last year

I was using a Masterbuilt Tele (which was a lovely guitar) when I bought my Suht Alt T Pro. And I bought it blind after a recommendation from @Kebabkid

I soon sold the Tele; the Suhr was that good. Its still my number one giggng guitar, and is so so versatile, whilst somehow having a vintage feel, imho.

Congrats on yours; that is a cool colour

Thanks! I’d read your impressions in other threads and it caused me to want one even more! Totally agree on the vintage/modern thing, it’s a brilliant blend!
