Default Suhr Classic Antque

Wasn't planning on buying a guitar.....especially an electric. I went all acoustic and have been pretty happy. I sold every thing "electric" about a year and a half ago. Haven't even held one in my hands in that time. I went to a local store in Pensacola yesterday, and saw this guitar hanging on the wall. I've owned a Suhr before and knew I had to at least play it. Suhr's are pretty rare around here. It is about two months old and plays great. Now I will have to buy a guitar cord and amp!

Sweet! Like a modern take on Knopfler's classic red Strat

Guitar so far is great. The heavy frets are different for me, but I now really appreciate them. They are not stainless and when time ever comes to have a re-fret, I will go SS with the same size fret. It requires a lighter touch especially between the 1st and 3rd frets. Almost has a scalloped feel, and if you use too much pressure the notes will go sharp. After an adjustment period I see now why some folks prefer bigger frets. I have been converted. I usually have buyers remorse after a compulsive buy, but I am glad I found this one.
