NGD Suhr Modern 2009 NAMM Special

thrashcomics · 12-04-2010, 05:11 AM

I just picked up this beauty this evening. Traded my 1997 Parker Fly for it and couldnt be more satisfied. We both got exactly what we wanted out of the deal. Its the Aqua Sparkle one in the NAMM booth photo. And here are the rest of the photos. Suhr pictures by onlywear - Photobucket

Philligan · 12-04-2010, 07:02 AM

Congrats, man, awesome finish

yellowv · 12-04-2010, 08:34 AM

Wow you surely got the better end of that deal.

OrsusMetal · 12-04-2010, 08:43 AM

Congratulations man! I LOVE Suhrs.

Adam Of Angels · 12-04-2010, 09:03 AM

Yeah dude, you hit that one out of the park. Great guitar.

The standard n the bottom row in the middle is amazing. The Modern immediately to it's left is finished in Rootbeer Drip - I have a maple boarded Standard in that finish and it's awesome

technomancer · 12-04-2010, 11:46 AM

Awesome score, congrats

Still dig the hell out of the koa top / mahogany back Beach in the top row from that NAMM

Holy shit that guitar looks fantastic!
congrats

thrashcomics · 12-04-2010, 12:16 PM

thanks all. it plays fantastic. the pickups have less output than i assumed they would. gonna play it with them for a week or so before i decide whether or not to drop some bkp's in it.

JacobShredder · 12-04-2010, 01:32 PM

+1, I could soooo see Mark Knopfler with it.

Adam Of Angels · 12-04-2010, 02:50 PM

Me too, man. That guy has great taste in guitars. Does he play Suhr? I remember seeing him playing some really nice strat with a transparent orange finish

Andromalia · 12-05-2010, 07:03 AM

They were axctually made by John Suhr before he created his own company if I got it right. The brand is ""Pensa Suhr" and they were made around 1988/90. He also uses Les Pauls, Strats and PRS AFAIK.

thrashcomics · 12-05-2010, 09:03 AM

Everything about that performance was awesome

Andromalia · 12-05-2010, 01:56 PM

Knopfler is the first guitar hero I listened to and Brothers in Arms was the first record I bought along with Brice Springsteen's "born in the USA" and a third from a french artist whose name will tell you nothing.
I've seen Dire Straits once some years ago now and it was an awesome show. It was the first time I saw a band or artist mod his songs so heavily for live use. (Likely some others have done so beforehand but I didn't get to see them). Telegraph Road remains one of my favorite songs as of today.

I hadn't noticed his rythm guitarist also played a Suhr that doesn't look too shabby either.

thrashcomics · 12-05-2010, 02:09 PM

i used to rock my dads dire strits cassetes when i was a kid. shit rocks.

Speedy Fingers · 12-05-2010, 08:02 PM

Damn!! Amazing looking guitar. Extremely good deal on your end too.

ivancic1al · 12-05-2010, 08:24 PM

Wow that finish is amazing indeed. Congrats!

it really is. it looks WAY better in person. i love it.

SirMyghin · 12-05-2010, 09:15 PM

Very nice axe firstly,

secondly damn that Knofler performance is awesome. His light attack and how he makes it look like he is doing absolutely nothing special is ridiculous.

MikeH · 12-05-2010, 10:08 PM

Definitely an awesome score. Personally, I would've snatched the Tele-style in a heartbeat.

ihave27frets · 12-09-2010, 02:09 AM

Nice !

thanks. glad to hear it from the guy that inspired me to get it. i love it. it plays so awesome. i had been wanting a horus for years and now im a suhr player for life. i am thinking about sending it in and getting the neck replaced with a reverse headstock and no inlays.

thrashcomics · 12-09-2010, 02:52 AM

i love that the example of this color in the suhr color chart is my guitar. thats the cool thing about the drip finish, its like a fingerprint.

budda · 12-09-2010, 07:01 AM

Good call

that's gorgeous
