Direct from
John Suhr:
"After
many years of experience I'm convinced that nothing sounds better
than a vintage style single truss rod. If the neck is made
correctly there is no need for a "two way rod". We guarantee the
necks for the lifetime of the original owner. We offer Plain grain
hard rock maple as well as Birdseye Maple finest quality and
museum grade birdseye, the Plain grain is usually the most stable
(at least in my opinion), birdseye sure does look good though and
ours is also eastern hard rock and comes from the same source as
our plain grain. Our 1 piece plain grain maple necks are 1 piece
with a Pau Ferro skunk stripe and headstock plug.
Our
standard fingerboard Radius is 11-14" compound for the ultimate in
clean bending with playability. Optional radius are 16", 9"-12"
compound and 7.25 - 8.5" compound. The truss rod is accessed from
the pickguard end of the neck with a special 1/8" allen wrench
without removing the neck. All our frets and fingerboards are
dressed with the neck under tension, the frets are re-crowned and
polished for smooth bending. The corners of the fingerboard are
broken in for a comfortable feel. Our current models are 25.5"
fret scale using the "Buzz Feiten Tuning system". Other scale
lengths will coming in the summer."

Neck Shape: |
+/-.010" (the width of your high E string)
Even C Slim
- this is a very friendly even taper slim C shape. The thickness
runs .810" at the first fret to .880 at the 13th fret . It is our
most popular shape and my personal favorite.
Even C
Medium- the
same as the even C slim but fatter, from .840" to .920"
Classic 60's
Standard -
A classic shape that starts out thin but tapers fatter at the 13th
from about .810" at the first to a chunky .930" at the 13th fret.
This used to be called our "Slim" 60's but really isn't that slim
so we changed the name.
Classic 60's
Medium -
the same as the 60's slim but fatter, from .830" to .950"
D Shape Slim
- A D-shaped neck that has a more shoulder or meat on the edge of
the neck and is flatter on the back shape. It is also featured on
our Scott Henderson model. It is slim about .8"-.880"
Big V
- To me this is the only comfortable V neck, big from .880 to
.980" it rolls in at the fingerboard and is a soft V that tapers
to almost no V. Recommended for V neck fans.

Body Shapes: |
Classic
- This is the standard Vintage shape many of us grew up with the
addition of a contoured heel where the neck bolts on for easy
access to all the frets. The input jack is located on the side
instead of the face to get out of the way from the trem arm. It
features a blade cut tummy cut and even contours. It is the shape
used on the "Scott Henderson Model" as well as the "Michael
Thompson Model".
Standard
- The shape I am best known for, the body is very slightly down
sized and has a sharper radius on the edges. It also features a
contoured heel and side input jack. It is a sleek take off of the
Classic design.
Classic T
- Digitized
from an original 52, we offer this with a 3 saddle compensated
Tele bridge or any of our other bridges like the Hardtail or 1099
tremolo. We also offer this with a hard vintage edge and no body
cuts or arm, tummy, heel cuts for the ultimate in comfort. Rear
route or traditional pickguard and control plate. Double bound is
also an option.
