« Perfection at last! »

Published on 04/25/14 at 02:32
Start at the end: The ultimate perfection is achieved with this guitar prestige.
Here, it is said!

Now I will detail a bit of my opinion on the best guitar in the world?

The handle of the Govan Antique Modern is its angular prayer. Roasted Mapple called because it is based on a piece of maple baked in an oven without oxygen to improve its stability whatever the temperature, the result is an ultra comfortable handle and very easy to play with his .800 850 dimensions and profile Modern Eliptical . (The dimensions incidentally, now equip the majority of Custom and Modern seen success).

The handle is very comfortable to touch and look at, with its sublime caramel color beautifully.
Stainless Steel Jumbo frets give this ultra comfortable handle high-flying, a touch of undeniable ease with indestructible webs. That slides alone!

Side microphones, it is equipped with a SSV, a ML and a SSH +. The winning trio? Undoubtedly both the sound personality and strong character of each pickup takes on its full meaning.

It sounds great and offers great sonic possibilities. It may take time to tame. Indeed, it does not mount a unicorn as easily, but once compiled, it will take you to 7th heaven! ;-)

The quality of a guitar first measure the quality of its wood, their resonances. A guitar vibrates vacuum humming without even plugging.

A guitar that does not sound empty, not ring connected. Do not waste your time and money trying to disguise the sound of an average guitar, cold and rigid wood amps and effects if your guitar does not sound ...

Here, the selection of wood, their sound quality and their vibrations give a soul to Suhr.

Listed accessories, we note the presence of a blower switch, a little magic button that allows baypasser all the sounds and effects to retransmit the original sound of the amp. An ideal option to avoid tap dance on a pedal board. Versatility you say? Witchcraft I say! It is captivating and charmed me forever ...

The guitar also features a push-pull, just to all, no matter when, no matter how freely, as air. Breathe and focus on music, Suhr will do the rest.

To complete the ingenuity of its construction, the guitar offers a series Tremol No, blocaque a vibrato that can move a floating to a fixed bridge with a simple gesture vibrato. So simple, so necessary and so convenient!

Mechanical blockage Sperzel to complete the picture for a guitar that never goes out of tune! AND the list goes on ...

One last point about his relic look. Dressed in a nitro cellulose varnish look great, scratched and wrinkled in places by luthier Suhr (Suhr each is made by a single person, not the factory Fender or Ibanez string scams). Note that the varnish thin enough (typical year 60 &#39;) takes on its full beauty with her aging and studied wanted to emphasize its ancient character. Suhr transports you to the Back to the Future with its vintage design and modern sound. The best of both worlds? More than that, it is another dimension, a parallel universe where Suhr Antique Modern reigns absolute Empress.

This guitar is incomparable, and for me it is the pinnacle. Since 2010, I only play on Suhr and ever, ho ever, my humble hands will not receive another brand. Much remains to be said about this Suhr prestige but I&#39;ll let your ears get an idea while listening to the majestic Guthrie Govan, the instigator of Engineering in collaboration with the best guitar manufacturer of the century, master John Suhr.

UTILIZATION

Let&#39;s talk a little use.
I&#39;ll make it short.
Comfort, ease, polyvence ... Should I say more?

To fully enjoy a prestige guitar, you will need an amp and wiring quality in order to get the best.

SOUNDS

Guitar excellence, sounds prestige ... What can I say? The Govan Suhr Antique Modern excels with disconcerting ease in all styles. When versatility meets the requirement, it gives the Antique Modern. Whatever your musical personality of the 30 guitars I&#39;ve had since 1996, including several popular nickname brand guitars, Ibanez Signatures and so on, they have nothing to do with the majestic Govan, on peaked in sound quality, comfort and musicality here. It is unique in the world.

I found THE guitar and I could not resist owning 3. A Suhr S6, a Govan Bengal Burst 2009 in addition to the Antique Modern.

A warning though, the guitar is perfect, it requires a clean and precise fingering game, all defects or subtle game being heard, this guitar does not forgive approximation.

OVERALL OPINION

For me, without a doubt, the best guitar in the world. Play Suhr made me mature in my approach and its hardware and changed my perception of the quality of an instrument.

The Govan Suhr Antique Modern took another value since it is no longer manufactured ...! No discount is found on its price, certainly elitist, but its rarity makes it an even more popular guitar. What is beautiful is rare.

The Holy Grail finally!
