Frequently Asked Questions

Absolutely; the Suhr routing accommodates standard humbucker sizes, allowing for straightforward pickup replacements.
While a bolt-on neck doesn't offer the same sustain as a neck-through, Suhr's construction minimizes any perceived loss, providing excellent transfer of vibrations.
