Personal Thoughts:
This Suhr Custom Shop Modern Nova is a masterclass in modern guitar design, and if you’re after a high-performance, precision-built instrument, this is as good as it gets. The Silver Nova finish is stunning, giving off a classy yet futuristic metallic shimmer that looks absolutely insane under stage lights.
 
The roasted maple neck and fingerboard are a dream—super smooth, ultra-stable, and resonant, thanks to Suhr’s meticulous roasting process. The Modern Elliptical neck profile is fast and effortless, sitting comfortably in the hand without feeling bulky. Whether you're shredding, riffing, or playing intricate chord voicings, this thing just flows.
 
Tonally, the Aldrich humbuckers bring all the power and clarity you could want. The bridge pickup is hot, punchy, and articulate, perfect for high-gain riffing and searing solos, while the neck pickup is rich, warm, and fluid, ideal for smooth leads and creamy sustain. The coil-splitting function adds even more versatility, letting you dial in glassy single-coil tones for clean passages or bluesier moments.
 
The Floyd Rose is buttery smooth, offering superior tuning stability and responsiveness, while the Suhr locking tuners keep everything rock solid, no matter how aggressive you get with the whammy bar.
 
This isn’t just a guitar—it’s a precision-engineered tool built for players who demand the best.
