In Singapore, Ebenex and Guitar 77 at Excelsior usually have the most Suhr guitars. David Toh is a cool dude, he allows people to try the high-end stuff that he has in his store.

Suhr is now offering three different headstock types for those who want to have a guitar customized for them. The other designs might still not be for everyone, but at least there are more choices now.

1. Original


2. Fat headstock (first appeared at Michael Landau's customized Classic)


3. Hybrid headstock

any one here knows which chinese factory makes the Rasmus by Suhr line? a china made guitar with a $1332.00 price tag must be something. I wonder if this factory also does guitar building for other brands.

Ahh... baka sa tonewood supply na yun kung ganun. Matagal-tagal na ring ginagamit ang Indian Rosewood sa paggawa ng gitara so baka medyo makahalata na yung mga Indians at taasan ang presyo nung kahoy nila sa future :lol:
