The Suhr Modern Satin

While this model is no longer part of Suhr's current lineup, please contact an authorized dealer for availability.
The Modern Satin features a pau ferro fingerboard, versatile electronics, and a V60LP middle pickup (HSH models only). The Modern Satin retains many of the specifications of the original including stainless steel frets and proprietary Suhr locking tuners. There are many reasons to love African Okoume: it is beautiful, it sounds great, and it is lightweight. The Modern Satin was created to celebrate the sound and beauty of this tone wood. The thin layer of satin finish allows the neck and body to resonate freely, producing a wide variety of tones so that your playing comes through loud and clear.

Many thanks!!

Wood grains are my fav. Beautiful.

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

Mine too!

[@rocinblues]

What a great guitar, thanks Jon

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

Glad you like it!

[@jacey714]

I loved the satin. Mine had great tones and was super light weight (somewhere in 5.5lb range). My only gripe was that the trem block is smaller than the ones that are on their custom Moderns. Also, the volume and tone pot posts are smaller as well compared to their more expensive Moderns.

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

Thanks for sharing

[@CZPavel-c1p]

Beautiful guitar of a very high quality brand in natural color, excellent music. Greetings Pavel CZ.👍👍👍

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

Glad you like it!

[@tomdameek]

I love that natural tactile finish Jon. It’s got a lovely rich tone. You really rocked out wonderfully on that Intro. It looks In excellent condition. Excellent video as usual Jon thanks 😃👍❤️👍

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

Thank you Tom.. hope you’re feeling better!!❤️

[@rodgerbell810]

Hi Jonathan, loved the look of this model by Suhr, the body looked so pristine in its original skin, great sounding pickups and appointments. Great review. Cheers ✌️🎸💜

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

Many thanks!

[@worthmoremusic]

What a beauty...love natural wood grain finishes and WOW, would you look at the weight of that thing ??? Under 7lbs ? Be still my beating ♥ Now all I need is $2600 ! LOL

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

lol.. I know!!

[@strumminronin]

What a stunning guitar.... Wow. Thanks for sharing, Jon!! I love how utterly understated, unassuming it is, yet it sounds incredible, and I bet it plays just as nice, if not better! It would be on my radar if it would help pay the bills, LOL!! Enjoy!

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

My pleasure!

Probably my most favourite video! Thanks Jon. Still prefer your Paoletti? 🙏

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

Most definitely!

This guitar is really cool 😊❤

It is!

[@RodrigoCFD]

I had one HH, with Indian rosewood fingerboard (not pau ferro). Super lightweight (2.8 kg) and comfortable. But I sold it because I disliked two things: 1) this guitar sounds extremely bright, very hard to get heavy tones; and 2) the neck was extremely unstable: any minimal weather change would require a truss rod adjustment, probably because of the lightweight & unfinished African mahogany neck.

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

Oh really.. that’s a pretty rare thing

[@JavierPwns]

They really missed out by not including a split for positions 1 & 5, I really want the modern plus and they actually offer it in left handed

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

👍

[@MA-uz3wb]

Hi Jon, isn't there a push-push split coil on the tone knob ? Mine has one, maybe not a serial mod ? I'd like to hear about this mod on yours, if there is one ! BTW, thanks for your video !

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

None

[@charlesharper7292]

Hello Jon. I apologize for being off subject. I have a HB TE-40 TBK. I saw you review one a while back. I have one. Two peculiar things I would like to ask about. First is why are the string through holes offset? Styling? Also where the strings come across the bridge. The strings contact the back of the bridge body before they reach the saddles. Is this a problem I need to fix, or should it be ok? Dose anyone make a narrower bridge that may be better? Thank you Jon.

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

Hi Charles.. 1) I dont know...maybe styling 2) No need..its normal 3) I dont know

[@leifpearson5205]

Jon since you've reviewed both, how does a shiejie ssh compare to a suhr ?

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

I think the main thing for me is the pickups...Shur makes their own and it suits their guitars,,,

[@wfntube]

The Suhr Modern Satin sounds a little muddier and muted to my ears. Great playing as always.

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

You are quite right✌️❤️

[@wfntube]

​@@JonIsJustTooLoudfor the price point, would you recommend this or a custom build with Shue guitars?

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

@@wfntube well.. try spec-ing out what you want from Shue and then decide..✌️❤️

[@wfntube]

@topitopka I have an all mahogany guitar with mahogany neck even, with Suhr Thornbuckers slapped in. It is legit good stuff.
