The Classic JM is Suhr's offset, with a body Suhr has slimmed and refined from the original shape. The alder body is in gloss, the maple neck is in satin with the 60's C Vintage Standard carve, and the Indian rosewood board runs a 10"-14" compound radius with medium stainless steel frets. A hybrid headstock and Suhr locking tuners sit at the top end.
It comes four ways. For pickups, a pair of SSV humbuckers in chrome, or a pair of S90s with Suhr's active SSCII hum cancelling, run off a 9V battery; if the battery dies, the guitar keeps playing and only the noise cancelling drops out. For the bridge, the 2-Post Tremolo with a steel block, or a recessed TonePros TP6 tune-o-matic with the strings through the body. A low-profile three-way selector handles both pairs.
If you want vibrato on hand, take the 2-Post. The TP6 suits a player who never reaches for an arm. Five finishes: 3 Tone Burst, Black, Gold, Olympic White and Sonic Blue. For a three-pickup HSH JM with series/parallel switching, look at the Ian Thornley Signature Series Classic JM.
