Suhr Standard Thin Burst Limited Edition Electric Guitar - Trans Red

Suhr Standard Thin Burst Limited Edition Electric Guitar – Trans Red / Black Burst | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls

The Suhr Standard Thin Burst Limited Edition is a fully documented, spec-sheet-verified custom Suhr built in Lake Elsinore, California in 2026 — serial number 89941, weighing 7.89 lbs., with a 2-piece quilted maple top over a 2-piece roasted alder body in Trans Red Thin Burst over a gloss black back that creates one of the most visually dramatic front-to-back contrasts available on any production or custom electric guitar. The quilted maple top's three-dimensional figure saturates in the translucent red from edge to edge — the quilt's billowing, cloud-like pattern catching and redirecting light through the color in a way that makes the top appear to have physical depth and relief. A maple Even C Slim neck in satin finish, maple fingerboard with compound 10"-14" radius, 22 stainless steel jumbo frets, Suhr DSV neck humbucker and DSH Plus bridge humbucker, Gotoh Floyd Rose bridge in recessed configuration, Suhr locking black tuners, 5-way blade selector, and black hardshell case included. Built to spec sheet 89941, originally ordered through Music & Audio Australia PTY LTD.

Product Overview

Looking at this guitar across all three photographs, the visual contrast between the front and back is genuinely extraordinary. The front tells the story of the quilted maple top in Trans Red Thin Burst — the quilt figure's three-dimensional, billowing, cloud-like grain structure saturated in a deep, rich translucent red that darkens slightly toward the edges of the body in the thin burst gradient. The quilt figure on this specific top is exceptional — tightly packed, evenly distributed, and dramatically deep in its three-dimensional character, the figure's surface relief visible as a textural variation under the color that gives the body a visual complexity far beyond what a solid red or standard flame top would produce. The gloss finish over the quilt amplifies this depth further — the high-gloss surface reflecting light off the quilt's peaks in brilliant highlights while the valleys absorb the red color more deeply, creating the characteristic three-dimensional visual depth that fine quilted maple is specifically prized for.

The back of the guitar — visible in the back photograph — is a complete and dramatic visual departure: a deep, mirror-like gloss black roasted alder body back that is clean, dark, and completely uniform. The natural satin maple neck back runs from the black body to the satin headstock — warm, light, and natural against the gloss black body — and the Floyd Rose tremolo cavity cover in black satin and the control cavity cover in black satin provide the only hardware interruption in the clean black back. The Suhr locking black tuners are visible on the back of the headstock — small, precise, and cleanly mounted against the natural satin maple headstock back. The combination of the dramatic red quilt front and the clean gloss black back makes this a guitar that presents completely differently depending on which side is facing the audience — two visually distinct personalities in a single instrument.

The close-up body photograph — in image two — reveals the pickup and hardware configuration in full detail. The Suhr DSV neck humbucker and DSH Plus bridge humbucker sit in black open-cover mounts against the quilted red surface, the magnetic pole pieces and pickup screws visible against the black covers. The Gotoh Floyd Rose bridge in black, recessed into the body for improved dive-bomb range and arm angle comfort, dominates the lower body area — the Floyd's precision saddles and locking mechanisms clearly visible. The 5-way blade selector in black and volume and tone controls with black metal dome knobs complete the no-pickguard control layout that allows the quilted maple top to be seen without visual interruption.

The Gotoh Floyd Rose bridge in recessed configuration is the hardware specification that most directly defines the Standard Thin Burst's expressive range — a double-locking Floyd Rose design that locks the strings at both the nut and bridge for a fully sealed tuning system capable of the most extreme dive-bombs and pull-ups while returning to pitch with the reliability that the Floyd Rose system's engineering provides. The bridge recess in the body allows the bridge to travel in both directions — diving below pitch and pulling up above pitch — and reduces the arm's angle for a more comfortable and natural playing position during use. The 1.650" Floyd Black locking nut works in conjunction with the bridge to create the complete double-locking system.

The maple Even C Slim neck at .800"-.880" is Suhr's comfortable modern C profile in the slim variant — fast, smooth, and ergonomically comfortable for extended playing sessions without the fatigue that chunkier profiles can introduce over time. The maple fingerboard at compound 10"-14" radius with black side dots and face dots progressively flattens from nut to upper register for comfortable chord playing at the nut end and fret-out-free bending in the upper positions. Stainless steel jumbo frets provide the maximum durability and smoothest playing surface available on any custom guitar — frets that will maintain their crown height and playing feel through years of demanding use.

The roasted alder body is the tonal foundation that distinguishes this Standard from a conventional alder-bodied guitar — roasting reduces the moisture content of the alder and cross-links its cellular structure for improved dimensional stability, enhanced tonal resonance, and a slightly warmer, more complex acoustic character than unroasted alder produces.
