In 2011 I received my second Suhr, the beautiful Suhr Modern Bengal Burst pictured above and it instantly became my number 1 guitar. The quality, feel, tone is like nothing I’ve ever owned before and was worth the painful, no, agonising 7 month wait.
I also bought a new amp in 2011, a Ceriatone Chupacabra 50 which is a hand wired head with 3 different modes “60′s”, “80′s” and Modern. Here is what the Modern mode sounds like:
