Rasmus by Suhr

Just announced even more affordable guitars approved by Suhr, Rasmus Guitars:

Suhr guitars have a deserved worldwide reputation for unmatched quality and attention to detail. But this quality and performance comes at a relatively high cost due to the source of origin, the premium materials and the high number of experienced master builders and craftsmen at Suhr Guitars. Still, it has always been our motto to provide excellent value no matter what the price point is and this is again the philosophy behind the Rasmus instruments that we are introducing in 2010.

The USA–built Suhr instruments have been out of reach of many young and serious aspiring players who seek the best possible playability and tone from a guitar but can’t break their bank account to acquire one. We’ve been hearing about this for years from the younger segment of the guitar community and we decided to examine this situation in 2008 after we introduced the 24–fret Modern model, which has become our most popular custom model and continues to attract a younger generation of serious dedicated players.

We looked at many options at lowering the cost here in our US factory like we did with the popular Pro Series instruments, but we came to see that it’s simply not possible to hit a certain price point without working with an outside manufacturing source based in Asia. The goal became to produce the best possible quality guitars at a lower price point that more serious players can afford — not to produce larger quantities of imported instruments that merely look like Suhr guitars.

Each guitar will feature:

1. North American lightweight Alder body and Maple neck
2. Suhr USA pickups made in the Suhr Factory in Lake Elsinore, California
3. Gotoh 510 and Gotoh Floyd bridges made in Japan
4. Fretwires made in Germany Plek fet-leveling job
5. Final set-up and QC check in the Suhr Factory in Lake Elsinore, California
