Suhr Standard Legacy, Pelham Blue, Gold, EMG

PLAYER’S PERSPECTIVE

Here’s another stunning Suhr Standard Legacy — a faithful homage to the original guitar John Suhr built for himself back in the ’80s. From every angle, this instrument radiates craftsmanship, precision, and artistry.

This is a hot-rodded shredder’s dream. The sleek, slim neck and immaculate fretwork make for impossibly low action and effortless playability. Tonally, it’s pure fire — the EMG active pickups deliver searing, high-gain tones that are ready to melt faces on stage. Yet, they’re far from one-dimensional; roll them back and you’ll uncover beautifully articulate cleans with impressive warmth and clarity.

Everything you’d expect from a hand-built, high-end Suhr is here in abundance — flawless construction, premium components, and a feel that inspires from the very first note.
