I checked in with the owner the other day when you mentioned you were looking. He has no intention of letting it go, but that changes, we’ll get first crack at it!

GrantB wrote:$300 for a re-spray is flippen good. Is it nitro?
Not nitro, some sort of really thin auto-style paint which I can’t remember the precise details of now. I’ll ask! Saved a few mm of depth on the body and weights a noticeable amount less with the poly finish gone.

2-pack probably...works well on a guitar and no buffing really required. That's where nitro is less efficient.

That makes me really want a Suhr again. Not that I've owned one before, just wanted one.
That does look really nice.
What killed my first few Suhr for me was, I think, the stainless frets. I felt they had a hard / brittle edge to the tone that was just kind of unpleasant to my ears. My latest one has regular frets and I'm much happier with it.
This could also be balls. I've said exactly the same thing about the sound of a quarter-sawn maple neck and about how I don't like the immediacy of them but the Suhr is quarter-sawn and it's fine (albeit with a rosewood board).
I'm trying to check myself a lot more on this crap these days.
Check yourself, sure, but for the love of god please don't wreck yourself.
