John Suhr has been building modified Classic S guitars for Scott Henderson since 1991, and Scott was the first artist to endorse Suhr Guitars. The Signature Series Classic S is that spec made available as a production model: a lightweight alder body in gloss, a roasted maple neck in a D Shape carve, .800" to .880", and an Indian rosewood board on a flat 16" radius with jumbo nickel frets.
Most of the custom work is in the bridge, a modified six-screw unit with a custom steel block and a shorter, thicker steel arm, with the mounting holes drilled oversize and wood taken out of the trem cavity for more travel. Suhr sets it to pull up a major third on the G string and push down about an octave on the A. The back has no cavity cover and no screw holes for one.
Pickups are three V63+ single coils in aged green, with the bridge pickup wound not hot, and SSCII for hum cancelling. Fiesta Orange, Seafoam Green and Olympic White share the same spec. For a compound radius and stainless frets on the same shape, look at the Classic S.
