    Im curious how the flat fretboard radius is?
    I like a 12" radius cause its flatter than 9.5 or 10"...but a flat radius sounds very appealing(possibly)...and its gotta be less expensive to produce.

    Im almost scared to ask(not really)...but how much does a used Suhr go for?

    The radius is 10" - 14" compound.

    The prices for used Suhr guitars are usually from 1700 and up, depending on the model.

    With this radius you can play a very low string action. I remember you mentioned one time you like to play wiht the strings as low as possible. My 62 vintage Strat has a 7,25" radius and the strings have to be set up rather high, otehrwise you can not bend. This s**ks quite a bunch at times. Robert, you are one lucky man. I like the Professional S1 in Ocean Turquoise a lot. some dealers here who have then...

    I heard from a friend of mine that works at customs there were some guys playing a Suhr guitar on their portable Vox amp that they keep at the terminal. It belonged to some guy in Canada. They said it sounded great on the little Vox!

    Ahh, you'd better tell your friend to let go of the guitar and send it to that dude in Canada who is waiting eagerly! He is looking out the window every 30 seconds.

    Wow Robert! I missed the great news.

    When is the Stork scheduled to drop off your new baby?

    I'd love a 10-14 compound radius.

    My guitars have 12" radius except for the Godin 5th Ave which has a 16" radius.

    Did you want the rosewood board over a maple board, or was the deal so good that it didn't matter?

    On a white strat, I prefer the look of rosewood. There is no schedule of delivery - as soon as the post guys can get them over here.

    It now says "Out of Foreign Customs" on the tracking website, so I think I should be getting it within a couple of days! :
