Classic S Vintage Limited Edition - Candy Apple Red

The Classic S Vintage Limited Edition: A Suhr Built to Breathe, Snap, and Sing

Vintage-inspired design with modern execution

The Suhr Classic S Vintage Limited Edition in Candy Apple Red takes everything you love about golden-era bolt-on guitars and wraps it in a refined, player-focused package. It’s a love letter to the past, yes—but this isn’t just nostalgia in lacquer. The body is a lightly aged lacquer-finished 3-piece alder build that resonates with depth and presence even before you plug in. And when you do? It roars, it whispers, it does everything in between. This isn’t a reissue, it’s a reinvention.

Comfortable neck profile with satin glide

From the first fret, the roasted maple neck offers a chunky-yet-accessible feel that fills the palm without ever feeling bloated. A 60s C Vintage Standard, that rewards both chordal grip and fleet-fingered single-note runs. Transitions across positions feel organic, thanks in no small part to the satin finish on the back. Whether you're staying anchored in first position or stretching into lead territory, the guitar moves with you, not against you.

Effortless upper fret access and sculpted heel

One of the true surprises here is how easy the upper register is to explore. The lightly sculpted heel does away with the traditional “S-style block,” giving your fretting hand the green light to climb. Combined with the compound 9"–12" fingerboard radius and medium nickel frets, bending up high feels smooth and unrestricted, exactly what you want when the solo calls for it.

Dynamic pickups with tonal versatility

The pickups on this instrument feel like they're listening. The V63+ single coils in the neck and middle serve up that classic bell-like chime, with plenty of that unmistakable "quack" in positions two and four. The bridge-position Suhr SSV humbucker balances perfectly against them, snappy and vocal when driven, yet wooly and warm with the tone rolled back. And with the push/push tone pot to split the bridge pickup, your tonal palette broadens even further. 

Resonant build with tactile feedback

Unplugged, this guitar already feels alive. Every note punches out of the body with authority, you’ll feel the vibration in your chest. That kind of resonance isn’t just a feel-good feature; it’s the foundation for great plugged-in tone. It tells you the whole guitar is working in concert with your playing. This Classic S Vintage reacts to every detail of your playing.
