Suhr Oso Trans Amber

Suhr Oso Trans Amber: specification overview

The Suhr Oso Trans Amber is part of Suhr's short-scale T-style series. Its listed scale length is 625 mm, or 24.625 inches, shorter than a conventional 25.5-inch guitar scale. The body and neck are mahogany, with a quilted maple top. The translucent amber, high-gloss finish leaves the top as a central part of the instrument's appearance, while wood binding frames the body.

The specification sheet lists the guitar as available since September 2026, with item number 639060. The listed price is 5390, with no currency supplied in the product information. It is made in the USA. These details establish the product's positioning, but do not provide enough information to compare its price directly with models in other markets.

Neck, fingerboard, and scale

The bolt-on mahogany neck has a Historic C profile. Neck thickness is specified as 22 mm at the first fret and 24 mm at the twelfth fret. Those measurements provide a useful reference for the taper, though they do not describe the neck's shoulder shape or how it will feel in a player's hand.

The rosewood fingerboard has a 254 mm radius, equivalent to 10 inches, with clay dot inlays and 22 jumbo nickel frets. The nut is a black TUSQ part, and its width is 42.8 mm, or 1.687 inches. Together, the fingerboard radius, nut width, fret count, and neck thickness give buyers concrete dimensions to compare with an instrument they already know.

The 625 mm scale is a defining specification. Compared with a 25.5-inch scale, it is shorter, which changes the relationship between string length and tension at a given tuning and string gauge. The supplied data does not state a recommended string gauge or setup, so players should treat those choices as personal setup variables rather than assume a particular feel or factory configuration.

Pickups and controls

The Oso uses two Suhr humbuckers: an SSH at the bridge and an SSV at the neck. Controls consist of one volume knob, one tone knob, and a five-way switch. The product information identifies the pickup models and switching hardware, but does not detail the five switch positions or specify the wiring combinations. Buyers who need a particular coil-splitting or series arrangement should confirm the switching layout with Suhr or the retailer before purchase.

The dual-humbucker layout gives the instrument a different pickup configuration from a traditional single-coil T-style guitar. The specifications alone cannot establish its output level, tonal balance, or response through a particular amplifier. Those judgments require direct listening, and no customer reviews are available for this product. This assessment therefore stays with the published hardware rather than implying tested sound or player feedback.

Tremolo and hardware

A Suhr two-post tremolo is fitted, along with Suhr locking tuning machines and chrome hardware. The listed details identify the main bridge and tuning components, but omit information such as tremolo arm dimensions, bridge setup, string spacing, and whether the guitar ships with a particular spring arrangement. The two-post design is a specific hardware choice, not evidence by itself of tuning stability under every playing style or setup.

The combination of a tremolo and locking tuners may matter to players choosing between this model and a fixed-bridge guitar. The product data does not describe installation or maintenance requirements. Buyers who regularly change tunings or use the tremolo extensively should verify how the instrument is set up before relying on it for a particular performance routine.

Case information and buying checks

There is a conflict in the supplied case information. One specification says "Including Case: No" and "Incl. Bag: Yes," while the detailed description says "Includes case." The listing therefore does not establish whether the Oso Trans Amber ships with a case, a bag, or both. Confirm the included protection with the seller before ordering, especially given the listed price of 5390.

On paper, the Suhr Oso Trans Amber is defined by its short 625 mm scale, mahogany body and neck, quilted maple top, rosewood fingerboard, and Suhr humbuckers. Its dimensions and hardware are documented in useful detail, while some practical buying points remain unresolved. Check the case or bag inclusion, five-way switching functions, and current setup with the seller. With no customer reviews available, the published specifications are the reliable basis for evaluating this particular listing.
