I'm trying to get a jump on getting a Suhr and I have missed 3 or 4 now. So, I check this a couple of times a day but it's about 2 weeks behind. How often is it updated?

This is a Suhr Aldrich bridge pickup that I purchased new in March of 2008. The spacing is 50mm. I had it professionally installed only once and removed it after about a day. It is in nearly new condition with no length removed from the lead wire. It has four conductor wire and is regular spaced. There are no issues with this pickup. It sounds great -- it is just not the sound I'm after anymore. This is as close as you will get to a new pickup without the price.

Make an offer!!! Please PM me if interested.

-Mark

Hi,

Thank's for the replies! I'll try that JJ on 1st position and leave the res as they are.

Regarding the bias adjust, I don't remember if the amp had 1ohm resistor to check it... (I still don't have a bias meter). What would it be the main differences using 6L6 instead of 5881s?

And for using EL34, would it be too hard to adjust it?

Regards,

Jose

Tech Talk :: RE: String Trees

I'm a new Suhr player and wondered about the lack of string tree thing.

I used my standard for the first time last night and it although it is probably one of most instantly playable guitars I've owned, I found I heard some weird overtones in some sections of the songs. I scratched my head for first set and then worked out what it was. If I banged body of the guitar whilst playing chords using a medium to high gain setting, the notes of the strings behind the nut could be heard to swell up into the chord. It wasn't very loud but I could hear it and knew it was there. It didn't so much sound out of tune or dissonant but the overtones weren't welcome. I placed some gaffa tape on the strings behind the nut and it cured it.

Has anyone else experienced this?

It makes me wonder if some guys actually use the hair band thing for more than the string mute ideas?

Hi Trev - I've been thinking about this one ! Here in the UK you can buy dental floss thats quite wide and "fluffy" - really recommend it for cleaning nuts - its very soft so won't do any damage - good luck !

Ed

That's a good suggestion - I'll be re-stringing and cleaning my S3 tomorrow so I'll give it a whirl.

Cheers,

Sorry to hear that. Sounds like a neck joint finish crack - very common on bolt ons and normally only cosmetic; often caused in transit.

My first port of call would be to contact the dealer or to pop Ed/ John a quick e-mail at Suhr. I'm sure one of them will sort you out. Suhr's customer service is spot on.

Good luck mate!

Hi All,

Bought a new pro series home 3 days ago, reached into the case today and noticed a small hairline crack in the neck pocket. Can't think of anything that I've done to cause this - my other Olympic white Pro series is absolutely mint after owning it for over a year - I'm exceptionally careful !

Have read the other posts here and not sure I understand what to do.

Have also noticed that the scratch plate screws don't seem to be in straight, have loosened tham all and tried to realign the scratchplate but can't get it to work.....

Hey - I know i'm fussy but this is a Suhr so I owe it to the master craftsmen that built it to keep it in A1 condition.

Otherwise I'm delighted with this guitar and the service that I got from "Sounds Great" in Manchester here in the uk. All advice welcome !

What is the advantage and disadvantage of placing effects in front of the amp versus in the effects loop? I have a BB preamp pedal, and a Line 6 Pod Pro XT with chorus, wah, reverb, tremolo, etc. My plan is to use the BB Preamp between the guitar and the amp, and run the Pod Pro XT through the effects loop. However, I am really more interested in the most effective method of using the effects without compromising the sound of the amp. In particular I am looking for recommendations for great reverb and wah. (I must admit that I do like the pod pro xt but I'm looking other opinions).
