Suhr Standard Plus HSS RM TWB

Suhr Standard Plus HSS RM TWB review

The Suhr Standard Plus HSS RM TWB is an American-made, ST-style electric guitar with a bridge humbucker and two single-coil pickups. Its listed price is 4,499, with availability starting in May 2025. The specifications describe a roasted maple neck, a 22-fret fingerboard, a two-point tremolo, and a gig bag. There are no customer reviews available for this product, so this assessment is based solely on the supplied specifications.

Some details in the listing do not agree. The body is identified as both linden and basswood, which are different wood names rather than a single unambiguous specification. The fingerboard is listed once as maple and elsewhere as roasted maple. The finish appears as both Blue Burst and Faded Trans Whale Blue Burst. The latter may be the more complete color name, but the data does not establish which description is definitive. Buyers should confirm these points with the seller before ordering.

Body, neck, and fretboard

The model is described as a Suhr Standard Pro, with an ST-style body and a flamed maple top. The top is paired with a body whose wood is unclear in the supplied data. A scraped binding is specified, along with a white pearl pickguard and chrome hardware. These details outline the guitar's construction and visible trim, though no body dimensions or weight are provided.

The bolt-on neck is roasted maple, and the profile is named Even C Slim. That wording identifies the manufacturer's profile designation, but the listing does not provide measurements for neck depth or width at multiple positions. The fingerboard radius is compound, running from 10 to 14 inches (254 to 356 mm). This changing radius is a concrete part of the neck specification, although the data alone cannot establish how it will feel to a particular player.

The instrument has 22 heavy stainless-steel frets and black dot fingerboard inlays. Its scale length is 25.5 inches (648 mm), a measurement also stated in the general specifications. The nut is described as Tusq. The provided nut-width entry reads "41./9 mm (1.65 inches)," which appears malformed: the metric figure cannot be confidently interpreted as written. The inch value is included in the source, but the discrepancy is worth checking rather than treating the measurement as fully verified.

Pickup layout and controls

The HSS layout consists of one Suhr SSH+ humbucker at the bridge and two Suhr V60 single-coil pickups at the neck and middle positions. This specifies the pickup types and locations, but no output readings, magnet details, or switching modifications are listed. The guitar has one volume control, one tone control, and a five-way switch. The supplied information does not describe the exact sound of each switch position, so no tonal claims can be confirmed from the data alone.

For players comparing configurations, the key point is the combination of a bridge humbucker with two single coils. That arrangement gives the instrument three pickup positions to select from and a conventional five-way selector, while keeping the listed controls straightforward. Whether the pickups suit a specific style or amplifier setup is a matter for a hands-on trial; this listing does not include recordings or performance measurements.

Tremolo, tuners, and included gear

The tremolo is a two-point design with a steel block. Suhr locking tuners are specified, along with.010 to.046 strings. The listing also calls the tremolo "Standard," without supplying further setup details, such as spring configuration or adjustment range. Those omissions limit what can be said about its feel and tuning behavior. The hardware finish is chrome.

A gig bag is included. The general data confirms a bag and says that a separate hard case is not included. The sales unit is one piece, and the item number is 618922. The product is not identified as a limited run.

Technical take

The confirmed specification set describes a 25.5-inch-scale, 22-fret HSS guitar with a roasted maple bolt-on neck, a compound-radius fingerboard, stainless-steel frets, locking tuners, and a two-point tremolo with a steel block. Those are useful details for comparing the Suhr with other guitars in the same broad category. The maker, model designation, and American manufacture are also stated in the listing.

The main buying consideration is the inconsistent wood and finish information, along with the unclear metric nut-width entry. These are specific listing issues, not evidence of a defect in the instrument. Confirm the intended body wood, fingerboard wood, exact finish name, and nut width before purchase. With no customer feedback supplied, there is no basis here for claims about reliability, setup quality, or how the guitar performs in everyday use.
