Suhr Modern Wood combinations...

[Nico]

Guys I'dmostly like to know your wood combos for your Suhr guitars, and how they sound.

--

I'd also like to ask for opinions on] what wood combo you think would be best suited for Hard Rock, Classic metal tones, think GN'R, Van Halen, Whitesnake, Ozzy, Maiden ...
Although I do play other types of music, so versatility is a must.

1) Mahogany Body, Maple top, Mahogany neck and Pau Ferro board or rosewood fingerboard. SSH+, SSV

2) Basswood Body, Maple top, Maple neck, rosewood fingerboard. SSH+, SSV

Basswood body.
maple top.
vulcanized maple neck.
Pau Farro fingerboard.
Have some aldrich pickups put in and your ready to rip.

I forgot to mention that When I get the extra cash my next one will be just a straight up Alder body and maple neck. Thats another killer wood combo.

That's what my new Suhr is. A Standard with Alder body, 1 piece Maple neck and Aldrich pickups.

Sounds amazing

How are you liking it? I have a Guthrie and a one off Modern with a black feathered Walnut top. Suhrs are great guitars. I have seen people complaining the action is too high on a Suhr. I have no idea what their problem is. I can ge my action perfect and as low as I would ever want. 4/64 at the 24th fret descending down to 3/32 on the treble side. Suhrs like to have their necks fairly straight. I set mine to a snug .009 at the seventh with a 24" rule going down the neck in between the D and G strings. Basically touching the G string.
