Frequently Asked Questions
The SSV is known for a slightly more aggressive, high-output character than the Wolfrails, but still retains a vintage-inspired voice with excellent clarity and articulation.
The aging is primarily cosmetic, adding a vintage aesthetic. However, the thinner nitrocellulose lacquer finish does allow for more resonance and vibration compared to a thicker, opaque finish.
While neck-through guitars often offer slightly more sustain, Suhr's meticulous construction and quality wood choices ensure excellent sustain and resonance with the bolt-on design, minimizing any perceived difference.
