Suhr Carve Top Standard 2001 Quilt Mint Condition - $3,350 (Chico)
QR Code Link to This Post
The guitar is fresh out of a huge collection that we have bought from before - one that included quite a few Suhr guitars similar to this one - all bought new and stashed until now. The frets look like they've hardly been played. Setup was easy - these guitars dial in perfectly. The truss rod has room for future neck relief adjustment, if necessary. There are no issues with the guitar whatsoever. Despite having the Buzz Feiten tuning system logo on the headstock, this guitar has a standard nut.
The carved maple top adds depth and complexity to the guitar’s tone, complementing the mahogany body for rich mids, tight lows, and singing sustain. The pau ferro board delivers fast response, excellent clarity, and a silky feel under the fingers—an ideal match for Suhr’s precision build quality. Their fret work and overall fit and finish are reliably perfect.
Equipped with Suhr’s high-end electronics, this Carve Top handles everything from warm, dynamic cleans to thick, articulate overdrive tones with ease. Whether you’re playing fusion, rock, blues, or modern session work, this guitar delivers pro-level performance.
Players frequently praise early-2000s Suhr builds for their resonance, stability, and attention to detail: “One of the smoothest necks ever made” (The Gear Page), “Impossibly consistent fretwork” (Reddit r/Guitar), “Studio-grade clarity” (Harmony Central), and “Boutique quality without compromise” (Ultimate Guitar).
Suhr guitars remain favorites of elite players such as Scott Henderson, Pete Thorn, and Mike Landau—known for tone purity and impeccable feel.
