Suhr Classic S Studio LE Bengal

Suhr Classic S Studio LE Bengal review

The Suhr Classic S Studio LE Bengal is a limited Studio-series, ST-style electric guitar made in the USA. Its listed specification combines an alder body and flamed maple top with a bolt-on roasted maple neck, rosewood fingerboard, HSS pickup layout, and Gotoh tremolo. The model is listed as available since September 2026, with item number 638046 and a price of 5,999. The supplied information does not specify a currency.

This review is based exclusively on the supplied product specifications. No customer reviews are available, so there is no basis for claims about actual playing feel, tuning stability in use, tonal character, or build consistency across examples. The details below explain what the listed components and dimensions indicate, without treating those implications as firsthand test results.

Body, finish, and neck dimensions

The body is alder, topped with flamed maple. The listed color is Bengal, while the detailed specification calls the finish Bengal Burst. That wording suggests the product is described with two closely related finish labels, but the information does not define whether they refer to distinct versions. A black pickguard and gold-colored hardware complete the stated appearance.

The bolt-on neck is made from roasted maple and has an Even C Slim profile. Its stated depth is 20 mm at the first fret and 22 mm at the twelfth, with the profile specification given as.800 to.880 inches. Those measurements provide a more useful picture of the neck's thickness than the profile name alone. They do not establish how it will feel in a player's hand, which depends on personal preference and technique.

The rosewood fingerboard has dot inlays and a compound radius that transitions from 254 mm (10 inches) to 356 mm (14 inches). The specification gives a 42.8 mm nut width and a 648 mm (25.5-inch) scale length. There are 22 jumbo stainless steel frets. Stainless steel describes the fret material, while jumbo describes the fret size; no further dimensions or fret-work details are provided.

Pickups and controls

The pickup system is HSS: an EMG 85 at the bridge and two EMG SA pickups in the middle and neck positions. The controls consist of one volume control, one tone control, and a five-way switch. This identifies the pickup arrangement and switching hardware, but the supplied data does not detail the switch positions or describe the output, equalization, or noise performance of the pickups.

EMG's active pickup designs make the specified battery requirements relevant, but the listing does not state whether a battery is included or give battery access details. Buyers should confirm those points with the seller rather than assume them from the pickup models alone. The available specifications also do not identify the potentiometer values, capacitor type, or wiring options.

Bridge, tuning hardware, and included item

A Gotoh tremolo is paired with Gotoh locking machine heads and a Gotoh locking nut. Locking hardware is intended to secure the strings at the nut and tuners, while the tremolo provides a movable bridge system. These component names do not, by themselves, confirm how well the guitar will hold tuning after tremolo use. Setup, string installation, and individual instrument condition can all matter, and no test results are supplied.

The package includes a gig bag. Although one field says a bag is included, another explicitly says the guitar does not include a case. The practical reading is that a gig bag is supplied, not a hard case. The listing does not give the bag's construction or protective rating.

What the specifications establish

The Classic S Studio LE Bengal has a clearly defined parts list: alder and flamed maple for the body, roasted maple and rosewood for the neck assembly, stainless steel frets, an EMG HSS set, and Gotoh locking hardware with a tremolo. Its 25.5-inch scale, 22 frets, compound fingerboard radius, and stated neck measurements give prospective buyers concrete dimensions to compare with instruments they already know.

At a listed price of 5,999, buyers should verify the currency, exact finish name, battery inclusion, and final package contents before ordering. The product data supports a technical assessment of the materials and layout, but not a conclusion about sound quality or value against competing guitars. With no customer feedback available, those judgments remain open until the instrument can be inspected or played firsthand.
