Description
Suhr Guitars is a complete facility. We design a hand built feel into designs produced with modern technology. We cut our own necks, bodies and pickguards on our state of the art CNC router. Each guitar is detailed prior to paint and assembly. This allows us complete control over quality and consistency of our guitars. These are truly hand built guitars, each assembled by one builder. We wind our pickups on a computerized winder that allows us to program a consistent "hand wound" pickup, using a balance of old world tone and modern technology. Our fret slots are CNC cut, all frets are leveled and re-crowned, all edges removed and polished. Our paint process ensures the beauty of the wood shines through and contributes to the tone of the instrument. We fully endorse the "Buzz Feiten Tuning System" for the best in intonation and tunability. Tight neck fits, accurate string alignment and consistent friendly neck back shapes. All this lead to a guitar that you wont want to put down.
Necks
After many years of experience I'm convinced that nothing sounds better than a vintage style single truss rod. If the neck is made correctly there is no need for a "two way rod". We guarantee the necks for the lifetime of the original owner. We offer Plain grain hard rock maple as well as Birdseye Maple finest quality and museum grade birdseye, the Plain grain is usually the most stable (at least in my opinion), birdseye sure does look good though and ours is also eastern hard rock and comes from the same source as our plain grain. Our 1 piece plain grain maple necks are 1 piece with a Pau Ferro skunk stripe and headstock plug.
Our standard fingerboard Radius is 11-14" compound for the ultimate in clean bending with playability. Optional radius are 16", 9"-12" compound and 7.25 - 8.5" compound. The truss rod is accessed from the pickguard end of the neck with a special 1/8" allen wrench without removing the neck. All our frets and fingerboards are dressed with the neck under tension, the frets are re-crowned and polished for smooth bending. The corners of the fingerboard are broken in for a comfortable feel. Our current models are 25.5" fret scale using the "Buzz Feiten Tuning system". Other scale lengths will coming in the summer ...

Classical guitars handbuilt in Sheffield, England by luthier James Lister, inspired by the great guitars of Torres and Hauser.
My guitars are light and responsive, with excellent clarity and separation ...
Top quality tonewoods are used throughout, usually European Spruce for the top and Indian rosewood for the back and sides ...
The common theme is an aim for clarity, warmth, balance and playability. With the Hauser model, the emphasis is on the tonal range of the instrument, whilst the contemporary model aims at greater projection, with a slightly brighter tone.

Robert Girdis began his studies in guitar construction in 1978 at the Northwest School of Instrument Design in Seattle. After his first year of an intensive studies apprenticeship, Girdis stayed on a second year as a teaching assistant. In the spring of 1981, he established his own workshop on Guemes Island, Washington, sharing a large woodshop with a boatbuilder. On Guemes Island, Girdis was offered glimpses into the studios and work of several talented artists and craftsmen, and was inspired to seek part time work with a few of them to learn their ways ...
Commissions for steel string guitars brought further focus to his work, and he hunkered down to fill his orders. Frets Magazine featured photos of his work in articles spotlighting the artistic side of the craft. BIG sound and careful attention to detail, combined with a willingness to try new ideas, an understanding of the nuances of design and construction that can tailor a guitar towards specific styles of playing and to the individual, has brought Girdis a long list of ecstatic customers ordering custom guitars.
