Second Hand 2001 Suhr Custom Standard "Burl Bengal" (Master Built by Kenny Gin) 

w/OHSC, Paper spec sheet & Bar 

Golden-Era Masterpiece: 2001 Suhr Custom Standard "Burl Bengal" Master Built by Kenny Gin.

For discerning collectors and players alike, this is a rare opportunity to own a piece of early JS Technologies history. Dated August 9, 2001, this stunning Suhr Custom Standard hails from the coveted "small shop" golden era of the company. 

The neck pocket features the handwritten signature and date (8/2001) of legendary Master Builder Kenny Gin, who meticulously prepped and hand-built this body alongside John Suhr.

This instrument features an extraordinarily rare, deeply figured Burl Maple top finished in a vibrant Bengal burst over a lightweight, resonant basswood body. The rear-routed design keeps the exotic top completely clean and uninterrupted by a pickguard. Designed for effortless playability, it boasts a lightning-fast "60's C Vintage Slim" neck profile with a compound 11"–14" radius and heavy frets.

 Driven by its original trio of early-era JST Buckers and a V60 single-coil, it delivers a massive tonal palette from crystal-clear bell-like cleans to searing lead tones. Complete with its original factory dealer order sheet from The Music Loft, this fully documented, highly collectible investment-grade masterpiece represents boutique guitar building at its absolute zenith.
