Refined Contemporary Elegance Meets Fluid Expressive Touch
The Guitar Sanctuary is thrilled to present the limited-run Suhr Standard Thin Burst Limited Edition in Trans Purple. Handbuilt with absolute precision in Lake Elsinore, California, this elite instrument is engineered for modern virtuosos who demand uncompromising boutique tone alongside a sleek, liquid-smooth playing experience.
This limited series features Suhr's iconic carved Standard body shape, beautifully executed with a highly resonant 2-piece roasted alder core and crowned by an exquisitely figured 2-piece quilt maple top. To establish a sophisticated, ultra-modern aesthetic, Suhr intentionally omitted scraped binding on this run, creating a clean, uninterrupted edge profile that beautifully accentuates the deep, regal depths of the Trans Purple Thin Burst gloss finish.
The plain maple neck is carved to an incredibly fast Even C Slim profile (.800"-.880") and treated with a velvety satin finish for a completely seamless, friction-free feel. This specific model features a premium Indian Rosewood fingerboard. Outfitted with an agile 10”-14” compound radius and heavy-duty jumbo stainless steel frets, this guitar adds an extra layer of organic warmth and smooth note decay while entirely eliminating resistance across the fretboard.
Uncompromised High-Gain Roar and Single-Coil Sparkle
Sonically, the guitar utilizes a powerhouse humbucking duo: a smooth, vintage-voiced Suhr DSV neck pickup paired with a high-output, articulate Suhr DSH Plus bridge humbucker. A custom-wired 5-way selector switch entirely redefines your tonal layout, giving you traditional high-gain roar in the full humbucker settings alongside a rare Parallel Neck configuration in Position 2 for chimey, pristine single-coil-style rhythm cuts without sacrificing hum-canceling protection.
Equipped with the highly expressive, smooth-moving Suhr 2-Post Tremolo system featuring solid steel saddles and a steel sustain block, this weapon is built for nuanced pitch manipulation and classic tremolo articulation, backed up by proprietary Suhr locking tuners for rock-solid stability and efficient string changes.
