The James Norbert Ivanyi Signature Series Modern is Suhr's Modern body in alder, finished in medium aged lacquer, with the same aged lacquer on the headstock under a gold fill, black outline logo. Suhr took the look from classic cars and motorcycles, and the two finishes are Russett Brown and Russett Yellow.
The roasted maple neck has a satin finish and an ebony board, in the Modern Elliptical profile at .800" to .850" with a 1.650" nut. It runs a 10" to 14" compound radius with jumbo stainless frets and aged clay dots. An SSV humbucker at the neck and an SSH Plus at the bridge go through a 3-way blade with a Preset Blower switch, and pulling the volume knob splits both humbuckers. The Suhr 2-Post tremolo has bent saddles, the hardware is black, and it comes in a black hardshell case.
The Modern Plus shares the body shape and neck profile, with basswood under a flame maple top, chrome hardware and a choice of board. This one is alder, ebony and aged lacquer. Of the two colours, we'd take Russett Brown with the black hardware.
