Pro Series Moderns

[Ed Yoon]

Ed, is the black also the rubber feel finish or is that a standard finish? Im a little concerned about the finishes. Will a sweaty forearm "stick" to them at all?

That concern aside, these are a sick value and Id like to get one to add as a brother to my Standards!

Yes, the black will also be the "soft touch" finish. The reason we can offer these guitars at this price is that we save on finishing process - especially since we don't have to buff these. No, sweat shouldn't affect how it feels anymore than on a gloss finish.

Thanks!

Here's a Charcoal Web. Each one will be unique.

Amazing. Also a satin finish?

Yes, the "Soft Touch" finish.

Ed, can the Charcoal Web be ordered on a custom guitar with a gloss finish?

Yes, sure can. It'd be like the Drip finish with a gloss top coat.

Looks great!

I wish these could have a mahogany body and hardtail bridge though. I'm just picky though.

+500,000 for the Hard tail!!!! But alder does sound great for rock...Maybe basswood would be great as well. i am sure that it the fine folks at Suhr put out a hard tail version it will kick some major ass!!!!!! And possible replace my Ibanez RGA121 as my top guitar.

BTW - I think that satin finishes are great, finger prints don't show up at all, same with small scratches, and swirl marks

Hey...that is my Charcoal Web Modern! It is not a pro series...it has Aldrich pickups

It has a "soft touch" finish that is amazing. Feels like rubber but is extremely durable and Mike Ponce at Suhr told me that it is actually stronger than conventional finishes. I have never felt anything like it and no, your forearm will not stick to the finish like Ed stated.

any pics of the "purple haze" finish listed on the website for the pro moderns?

 

[synchu]

Charcoal Web looks stunning
Now when this will be available (to dealers in Europe)?

 

[Stramm8]

Those look badass! Got any pics of the Purple Haze finish yet?????

We're working on M1 with that finish now. We looked at 5 color samples and settled on one and it should look really cool. We'll keep you posted.

We're also looking at a jet black sort of finish to offer for the Pro Moderns. I know that black is kind of plain, but there should always be someone looking for black guitars.

Would the jet black be a flat or satin finish? I would to see one of these in a flat black primer ("hot rod" black) style finish. The crome hardware would make it pop like a '49 Mercury

No, not yet. We're working on a few but it'll be a month or two.

You should see a couple arriving there in June or so. An M1 is going to Guitar Guitar in UK and an M2 is going to Musikshop-Axel in Germany.

It's a flat finish. We haven't seen one yet. We'll post a photo as soon as one gets finished.

Sounds Great Music have one, an M2 in Ice Blue. It is priced more than their metallic finish standards? Pricing mistake?
