Signal chain for those who are interested:
Suhr Classic - Mesa Stiletto Ace 50w 1x12 crunch channel - Twonotes Torpedo Captor - Roland Quad Capture - Logic.
No EQ was added to the guitar signal and I was using a combination of Celestion V30 and Greenback IRs.

i watched your video because I'm very close to purchasing a Classic HSS. A few yrs ago, I tried out a Suhr SSS relic and it was hands down the best Strat guitar I've ever played, and that's an honest comparison to several Fender CS pieces.

Great review! Seems like your trem is set up for dive only. Did it come set up decked or was it floating?

@MrNeilfatmonkey 4 жыл бұрын

Shawn Cho it is floating, but there’s only about a semitone of movement up. I really like it that way and that’s the way it came from the factory.

I have the same trem sytem on my schecter. It's not a floyd rose but its excellent.

I own a Suhr classic from 2016 in sonic blue with a rosewood fretboard same pickups as yours also Fun fact the V60LPs are John Suhrs favourite pickups he says they are not picky what amp you use and are great with drive pedals

@MrNeilfatmonkey 4 жыл бұрын

Jezza 6692 I didn’t realise that he’d said that about the pickups. They really do sound great with every amp I’ve put it through. They really are great guitars. I hope you’re just as happy with yours as I am with mine.

Is string tension stiffer than a Fender?

@MrNeilfatmonkey 4 жыл бұрын

Shredsofeden that depends on how everything is set up, really. But with like for like string gauge, springs in the back etc I would say it feels much the same.

@voxshall 4 жыл бұрын

The high e and b usually feels stiffer if you don't use a string tree.

@MrNeilfatmonkey 4 жыл бұрын

Jamie .Loh the tuning pegs/machine heads are staggered in height where the string connects which may help alleviate any problem you mentioned. It doesn’t feel any stiffer to me.

@voxshall 4 жыл бұрын

Neil Gregson All good, these things are so relative, but John Suhr has said the same thing I stated in the past on a guitar forum if you want to look it up. I think the angles of the neck and bridge make a big difference too and Suhr might take extra care to get those angles right, lastly raw vintage springs help the string feel more slinky in bends as well if you run a floating bridge.

@MrNeilfatmonkey 4 жыл бұрын

Jamie .Loh I’m not disagreeing with you at all, this is just my experience with this particular Suhr compared to the Fenders I’ve played. Your experience might differ but I haven’t noticed any appreciable difference in string tension.
