And that is the buyers decision to make...honestly I'd rather have the US made version of this guitar but it's just not in my budget. Actually this isn't either :embarrassed:

Quite true. On both counts. I would love to play either version though sometime...
 
Love it! I May be going to Guangzhou in Southern China this summer. How many should I pick up for ya?
 
At least the volume knob is a bit further (or is it farther?!) from the stings than on a standard strat... I'd give this a go if I didn't already have my Ibby/Suhr...
 
Hot!..I did try one :embarrassed:..very nice indeed. The shop had a Modern that I liked better though..albeit for a lot more money. :embarrassed:
 
This is a lot of guitar for the price range. How much do you normally have to pay for a new guitar that is friggin' Plek’d?
Very hot!
 
I am fighting the urge to get a Suhr pro series. It is a tough battle, at least mentally. I want the guitar, but I have college funds, retirement, and mortgages to think about.

It isn't so much that I am opposed to selling gear, it just seems to take a lot of time/effort, and it often isn't worth the time to do so. This is especially true for some of the cheaper stuff I have that I could part with. Last thing I sold was a marshall tube combo, for like 700 bucks. I bought it with a blown fuse for 100 bucks in NY, and flipped it for a 600 dollar profit, but I spent like 10-12 hours demo-ing it for tire kickers and time meeting people and stuff. In the end, I think I lost money in time I could have been working. It was also a big pain in the ass. Buying the Suhr isn't really a financial stretch, but rather that I feel better spending the money on other things.

I would love to play one.....


....then build one for about half that price :wink:



I think that this is definitely something that will appeal to someone who really wants a Suhr but doesn't have the $3,500. OTOH if you don't have an attachment to the brand, there are plenty of competitive options in this price range.

Its a very appealing guitar, but as I have said before, I wish it was a different color. Any color. I dont have any problems with it being produced in China. Like Dave I would prefer Korea just because its a friendly country, but since it being inspected and set-up here I have zero concerns about QC.
 
I imagine it plays great, but it does nothing for me visually.
for $1400, I'd rather get another ass-kickin' SG.

or a boatload of Star Ways toys
 
I like the IDEA behind it, but not sure on that particular model.

I mean, it's cool, and I am sure it is a real player, just not sure I need another super-strat.

Do like the idea behind it, though, and the fact that Suhr sets it up, inspects it before it hits the end-users hands, uses Suhr parts.
I don't have any problem with that trem at all.

I have 2 Gotoh equipped guitars, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it as a high-quality trem unit.

Overall: HOT.
 
Sorry, and I'm sure it's a fine guitar, but IMO it should street for half the price. Like others have said, money better spent elsewhere.
 
So, tell us what other $1400 guitars out there have been through a Plek machine? Bueller?

OK, how about half the price?

I know this isn't just about these guitars being Plek'ed, but my point is for the money, this looks like you are getting a much better guitar than $1400 will get you anywhere else. Only playing one will help us determine if this is a good or bad deal, like most other guitars.

Isn't Gibson plek'n just about everything these days? They have plenty of domestically built models that street under $1,400.
