 |
|
Scott recently took delivery of an Antique version of the Scott Henderson Signature Classic and he says that it's the best guitar that he has ever owned and that it is now his main performing and recording instrument. And, yes, Scott's man enough to play a pink guitar!  We made three of these and Scott got to pick out one but he had a real hard time deciding because they all sounded and played great. Here's one that went to the Amp Shop in Sherman Oaks, CA. We have one more that we'll put up in our In Stock gallery. Both have been signed by Scott himself.
Only the body is Antique in nitro-cellulose lacquer with very light aging. The neck is standard satin finish with gloss headstock. |

Wow! That's surprising that he has such a flat FB radius!
What an awesome guitar and player.

We've secured the other one! Didn't even make it to the Suhr gallery!

Are the bridge saddles high for tone reasons or because the allen screws rip the players hands if they are too low? I remember hearing Jeff Beck chose blocks instead of bent saddles on his trems for that reason.

2nd question
Why does having no trem cavity blackplate or screw holes effect the sound? |

The string tension is looser when you get the saddles high and Scott has much better luck with no string breakage that way. |

Hi John,
please more information about that. |
Would he then lower the bridge plate to get the action set?
If this has become his #1 will this be the standard finish on his available model?

Would a the Fender Vintage Bridge fit on any Suhr classic with 6 screws?
I also wonder what Scott has to say about the Gotoh 6 screws.
