This one's a little spicy

[killerburst]

Suhr calls it Chili Pepper Red. I never realized how aromatic Brazilian Rosewood is. It's stronger than the case glue smell you normally get with a new guitar, that's for sure.

I really practiced the the top line in my sig with this one. :D

Congrats! Suhr makes killer guitars. You must have the same size left hand as I do, because the neck size on both my Suhrs are the same as the one on yours-and to me, it's the most comfortable neck profile I've ever felt.

The Suhr Even C Slim is very, very comfortable, but I do actually prefer the TA Standard neck shape. I consider myself very fortunate that I don't have to choose just one (variety is the spice of life), but if I did it would be the TA Standard. I think Suhr's Reb Beach model has a neck that's very close to the TA Standard (slightly less taper).

Funny thing is, I wasn't even looking for a new guitar. This one just spoke to me and had all the right specs.

I still need a TA Classic, though. :D

I wish Tom would make the even c slim neck on his guitars-I like the TAG tone a little more than the Suhr tone, so the Suhr even c slim neck on a TAG body with TAG hum pickups would be my dream guitar!

Utterly killer looking guitar - congrats!!!

Thanks! Here's the updated family photo. All wonderful guitars. It pains me that I can only play one at a time.

I just picked up a cool blue Suhr to cool off your Chili Pepper red. This one has a natural mahogany back.

I have the Suhr RB neck profile & the TA Standard (I assume, anyway-- I got the Anderson 10 years ago & the spec hang-tag with it didn't mention the neck size). Both are wonderful necks, but not what I'd call close. My Suhr RB neck does have a narrower nut, but still, the Anderson neck seems a lot bigger.

Gorgeous guitar. I love that wide, tubular quilt.

John Suhr makes some killer guitars. I have two Suhr Classics and they are truely great guitars.

I did a double take when I saw the Suhr, Jack Gretz built me a custom guitar (see My Guitar Collection link) that is very close to the same color!

There's this killer (new) Suhr strat-style locally in Tiger Eye. Man oh man........

I didn't even play it cause I don't have the $$ and don't wanna torture myself......
