Is the price shown inclusive of VAT?

Yes. Every price on Northgate Music Co. includes UK VAT at 20%, and a full VAT invoice is emailed with your dispatch confirmation. There are no import duties or handling fees on UK orders.

Will it need a set-up when it arrives?

No. Our workshop completes a full set-up before dispatch — truss rod, action, intonation and fresh strings — and includes the measurements in the box. UK humidity changes may call for a small seasonal tweak later on.

What happens if I don't get on with it?

You have 30 days from delivery to return it for a full refund. We email you a free UK return label, and refunds are processed to your original payment method within 5 working days of the item arriving back with us.

What warranty cover is included?

Two years parts and labour against manufacturing defects, on top of your statutory rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. Consumables such as strings, reeds, heads and batteries are covered for 90 days.

01 — Full details

Unparalleled Craftsmanship and Playability

The Suhr Limited Edition Classic S Paulownia is a testament to Suhr's reputation for building high-end boutique guitars. With its vintage-inspired S-type design and modern features, this guitar offers a perfect blend of nostalgia and innovation. Crafted with a lightweight Paulownia body, the guitar delivers a balanced tone with exceptional clarity and resonance. The birdseye maple fretboard adds a touch of elegance and offers smooth playability across the entire neck.

Exceptional Tone and Lightweight Design

The Paulownia body sets this guitar apart, offering similar tonal properties to swamp ash but at a fraction of the weight. Unlike chambered guitars, the solid Paulownia body ensures that you get the true essence of a solidbody instrument, with bright and snappy tones that remain warm and articulate across the frequency spectrum. Whether you're on stage or in the studio, this guitar is designed to inspire and perform at the highest level.

Trans Sonic Blue Finish

Finished in a stunning Trans Sonic Blue, this Limited Edition Classic S Paulownia exudes vintage charm with a modern twist. The super-faded finish adds a touch of retro flair, making it a standout instrument on any stage. The tortoise shell pickguard complements the vibrant finish, adding to the guitar's visual appeal and timeless aesthetic.

Premium Components and Versatile Electronics

Equipped with Suhr V63 pickups in the neck and middle positions, and a Suhr DSV humbucker in the bridge, this guitar offers a versatile range of tones suitable for any musical style. The 5-way blade pickup selector allows you to explore a variety of pickup configurations, from classic single-coil spank to thick, humbucker-driven tones. The Gotoh 510 tremolo bridge ensures optimal tuning stability and intonation, while Suhr locking tuners keep your strings in tune, even during the most demanding performances.
