their is something special about you standing up with a green screen behind you and playing with a mindset of everything being visible but with a hint of performance. At least that's how I think about it. I've learned a few solo's from your videos. Thanks dude
Thanks! I really appreciate the nice comment! :) 🎸
Coming up next is another classic guitar solo lesson... actually it's two solos in one video! Stay tuned! :)
Hope you could teach way cool jr. or top secret by Ratt! You definitely have one of the best channels for solos. I've learned a lot of Van Halen and Ratt solos from your lessons.
Hello wanna know your chorus is in front of the preamp? Nice guitar!!
Nice!! Sooooo 80s with the flame top, the lighter sunburst, and those killer EMG pickups. Looks and sounds amazing! I remember when you mostly played your natural top PRS. I love seeing all these new axes over the years.
Hey Steve! Yeah, it was just a decade ago when I only played on two guitars! Good seeing you! :)
Thanks for this, you’re first demonstrating this guitar on TH-cam! Very complete review, the backstory and the different tones you used add value to this video! I was lucky to visit Rudy’s music stop a couple of times but unfortunately two decades after John left. I have tried a couple Carved Top models but they are so rare and expensive that I will go for this one. Cheers, rock on! JC
Wow bro you really have the best collection of guitars on TH-cam. Congrats on another awesome guitar and tasty playing as usual!
Beautiful guitar, Dave!! And, as always, stellar playing!! The clean sounds through the active pickups sound nice.
Hey Bill, thanks! Yeah I was really happy with that too... was afraid they weren't going to sound "Strat-y" :)
Yeah, I recall those magazine pics of Mark Knopfler with that Pensa-Suhr and thinking it was the coolest guitar around. I used to read those mags cover to cover myself bro.
Right on bro. I remember thinking PRS guitars back then were the most exotic and "out of reach" guitars back then, but the Pensa-Suhr guitars seemed even more out of reach given they were built by a shop in NYC :)
Hello fellow Portlander! Love the opening to Lay it Down! Suhr guitars are well built instruments. I just picked up a modern terra HSH but love this classic super strat style!
I was fortunate enough to play one of these guitars in a shop yesterday (the Pelham Blue with Gotoh 510 bridge) and as you would expect from Suhr, it was absolute quality and had great playability, I didn’t know the bridge / middle position had the MK mod so that’s good to know. I’m surprised they don’t mention it on their website as the ability to get a more traditional Strat type tone in that position is quite a selling point.
Hey Dave, I was surprised they don't mention it either. Given the nature of the EMG 85 and that it technically can't be split, it prompted me to reach out to Suhr while I was waiting for the guitar to arrive, and clarify how position 2 worked, and it was then that the Suhr support team informed me that it includes the MK mod. I'm guessing it's Suhr being careful not to call this guitar a Pensa Suhr clone, even though it was really John Suhr doing all of the design and work back in the day.
@@PDXguitarfreak yep, I think you’re right there - they can’t mention MK, but I’m a little surprised they didn’t come up with some kind of name for the mod as it’s a really useful feature. Great guitar though and I’m sure you’re very happy with it! I’d be very tempted to get one myself if I wasn’t currently saving for a custom Suhr to buy next year!
@@PDXguitarfreak the other thing they could’ve done would be to use the 89, which has both a humbucker and single coil mode, but I guess John wanted to stay true to the original guitar.
@@guitardave Yeah, exactly - I was thinking the same thing :)
Now if only you had a stack of 80's Marshall amps, you'd be all set :)
Right! :) Only problem is the neighborhood HOA rules specifically state "No wall of Marshall or equivalent guitar amps allowed." :)
I want one! Hope you are well. Thanks for the video. Take care. 🤘
Hey Al, thank you and hope all is well with you too! :)
Nice, didn’t know anything about these guitars. Your tones with different settings were SICK!
There weren’t any links below for affiliates, or to SUHR guitars.
But I’m going to go google search and check them out. Thanks
Thanks CTP! I'm not affiliated with Suhr, so I didn't think to include any links. :)
Cool guitar Dave ! EMG pickups rock!!!!👍 With the Floyd Rose onboard, it's ironic you mention below to "stay tuned" LOL Bob
Hey Bob! Thanks! Yeah, the stay tuned is pun intended for sure :)
I dig it! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Diogo! :)
The one I liked the most was the yellow one with maple fretboard and one humbucker, on the wall behind you))
Yeah, I love that one too. That one feels even more '80s than the Legacy guitar, but it was custom while the Legacy guitars are limited edition off the shelf :)
@@PDXguitarfreak I think it's worth of being featured in one of your lessons. The color would probably go with a Warrant or Poison solo. May be Danger Danger.
@@AleX-ux2qz Totally! I actually used it not long ago for a Bon Jovi solo lesson :)
I don't get the thumbs down. Jealousy? Dave, you deserve this for everything you do for us. Btw did Suhr give you the guitar?
LOL it's okay - thumbs down don't bother me. Kids will be kids. As for the guitar, no, Suhr did not give it to me. The only guitars that I have gotten free from manufacturers are the Donner guitars. :)
Dave...that is a sweet guitar...thanks for showing us these budget guitars!!! 😜
LOL I hear you bro! :)
$3,499 is budget?
I remember the late 1980s higer end range of Yamaha RGX were active pickup superstrats. Must have been a design trend for manufacturers back then.
I think it was still considered new and cool back and then, in the late 80s. I always shied away from them, and really for no other reason than not many of my guitar heroes used them :)
Ive got one of these .. since purchasing it..i never touch another guitar .. perfection in itself. Love its sound and paired with a mesa boogie 4x10 45 watt valve amp ... superb
I’d love one in translucent purple 😁
Yes... definitely, yes
Great playing dude!
Thanks Ryan! :)
The one guitar I had with active pickups was an Alvarez Dana II. They were a bit too noisy for the way I played.
Yeah I remember friends having the same issue with their active pickups. This Suhr, however, is pretty darn quiet... or at least on par with regular pickups :)
Pretty cool and hot sound :)
Thank you!!! :)
Hey Dave .. great video / review .. 😎
Have you had a chance to try the Suhr Carve Top Standard Knopfler Spec ..
Would like to hear your opinion / comparison ...
All the best 😎 🎸 🇮🇪
Hey Dave, New to your channel... What is this opening riff, who is it from... or is it your own creation???
Hi and welcome! It is something I just threw together for the video. :)
Thank you sir...I loved it. That melody line is soooooo good.... caught my ear IMMEDIATELY.. The G you hit on the 20th fret ... FUCKING MONEY!!! Wonder what else you have up your sleeve :)
@@PDXguitarfreak
Thanks for great review. Would prefer to hear through a tube amp.
Great review. Thanks! How would you describe the neck pickup clean tone for single-note leads? Is it possible to get a round, warm tone, not edgy and scooped like typical Fender single coils?
Thanks! The neck pickup definitely sounds like a single coil should. However, I've found that with enough midrange added, I can fatten up single coils nicely if desired. Won't sound like a humbucking neck pickup exactly, but fuller.
Good to know. Thanks!
Has anyone compared these new standard legacy (flat top) to the original carved top model? Anyone noticed any difference in tone?
I have not tried the older carved top models. There are probably only two things I would do different with this guitar, if I had the option: 1) carved top, and 2) jumbo frets, although I have no problem with the heavy frets, I just like jumbo best. :)
@@PDXguitarfreak I just ordered one like yours, I have bought other guitars trying to be close to this, but now this is it! Very inspiring instrument, it will be played a lot! Best wishes, JC
Thx for sharing! Is this guitar suitable for jazz?
Do you still have those magazines , I got 2 totes of em !
Oh yeah, several boxes! :)
I was wondering what's that riff at 7:48. Then I started looking for it and found it, because it sounded so familiar and I found it - Ratt Lay it Down. Ratt's got an awesome rhythm guitar.
Thank you, I’ve been looking for this answer ever since I heard Leon Todd playing it
I'd love to see these high end makers consider that some players have larger fingers and that tiny nut is too narrow.
I don't have that problem, but I totally get it. My hands are a little on the smaller side so I guess it's the opposite.. I don't do well with wide necks.
Great demo! What gauge strings are on it or come standard? Thanks!
Why didn't they put the X-series in the guitars?
Dude, party the fuck up.
Rock on! :)
Nice and amazing video again sir with so amazing electric guitar i hope sir i can have that one someday 🥺😔 or any used guitar sir i accepted the important is i have to used. I hope i will win in your giveaway ...next
