Our take

Who this one is for

The Alt T is Suhr's Classic T shape with a chambered body and an F-hole, loaded with two SSV humbuckers under raw nickel covers. Suhr chambers the body to add warmth to the low end. The neck is tinted maple on the 60's C Vintage Medium profile, with medium stainless steel frets on a 9"-12" compound radius, and the bridge is a Chopped Classic T.

It suits a player who likes a T-style body but wants humbuckers and a lighter, chambered build. Stainless frets wear far more slowly than nickel, and the compound radius is rounder near the nut and flatter higher up for bends.

The fingerboard decides the body wood. Rosewood-board guitars are alder: 3 Tone Burst, Black, Olympic White, Seafoam Green and Sonic Blue. Maple-board guitars are swamp ash: 3 Tone Burst, Black and Trans Brown. Our pick is the Trans Brown, which shows the ash grain around the F-hole.

For a solid body with Classic T single coils and a Wilkinson 3-saddle bridge, look at the Classic T.

Pre-orders

Questions we get

How much do I pay today?

Your choice: the full price, or a 25% deposit. On a deposit, the balance is due when the guitar reaches the shop, before it ships to you. A deposit is paid by card or PayPal. Shop Pay, Apple Pay and Google Pay can't take one.

When will it arrive?

It varies by product, anywhere from two weeks up to several months. If you'd like a date for this model first, ask us in the chat and we'll check with the supplier before you order. If you're ready now, go ahead: we confirm the ETA by email once your order is in, and if it changes, we let you know and you can cancel.

Can I cancel?

Yes, any time before the supplier invoices it and ships it to us. We refund what you paid less 3% to cover the card processing fee.

Once it has shipped to us it is a special order and final sale. If it arrives with something wrong, we put that right.

What if the price goes up before it arrives?

You pay the price you ordered at. Once your order is placed we hold that price, even if the supplier raises it before the guitar arrives.

Is the free setup included?

Yes. A pre-order is an online order, so it gets the same free setup: it crosses our bench before it ships, set up the way you choose. The setup menu above shows what that covers.

Do I pay duty or brokerage on a US order?

No. Duty, taxes, brokerage and customs on a US order are handled at our end before the instrument leaves Ottawa. It arrives at your door with nothing to pay.

Orders going anywhere outside Canada and the United States work differently. The shipping and returns policy sets out which is which.

Can I finance it?

Yes, if you are in Canada and paying in full. Pick PayPlan by RBC or Shop Pay Installments as your payment method at checkout. The plan, the rate and the approval sit with the provider, and you see the terms before you agree to anything. You pay a deposit by card or PayPal.
