Suhr Custom Modern Burl Maple/Black Limba - Natural
This Round Hill Music spec'd Suhr Modern was designed for players who want immediacy, nuance, and effortless control under the fingers.
The Black Limba body delivers a rich, organic midrange with a fast, responsive feel, while the Burl Maple top adds clarity and visual depth without sacrificing warmth. A roasted flame maple neck with Suhr’s Modern Elliptical profile feels instantly familiar: Slick, stable, and broken-in from the first chord. The Macassar ebony fingerboard offers a smooth, articulate attack and endless sustain.
Tonally, this guitar covers serious ground. Thornbucker and Thornbucker Plus humbuckers provide open, expressive punch with vintage character, while the V63 single-coil in the middle adds sparkle and chime for clean and edge-of-breakup textures and authentic strat tones. A discreet blower switch delivers instant, full-output lead tones on demand, making this instrument equally at home in the studio or on stage.
Finished in natural gloss and loaded with premium Suhr hardware, this Modern balances elegance with raw playability. It’s a guitar that disappears in your hands and refuses to let go once you plug in.
