UTILIZATION

Not many people worldwide have had the privilege to try this guitar (including me of course).

SOUNDS

The easiest way to give you an idea of ​​listening is in the hands of MR Knopfler on the album "ON THE NIGHT" Dire Starita (Brother in arms and Your and Your friends are wonderful).

OVERALL OPINION

I put 10 of course.
What sound and what beauty.

Correction, this guitar is a Pensa Custom, APRS makes the re Pensa-Suhr.

UTILIZATION

I did that essay 5min sniff, it's enough to know what object it was a case.
It is close to perfection

SOUNDS

Her trs typ. Full of beautiful harmonics and mediums all as clear and prcise, even in its saturated.

OVERALL OPINION

I just want to make a small complement to the commentary of Mr. Anonymous
Submitted by the Pensa Custom manufactured APRS is a MODEL of the sparation ANIB Pensa-Suhr
(Due to a sparation Knopfler's guitar in the words of Suhr). So it is indeed A model built by Rudy Pensa.
This guitar is a real rgale sound and comfort. I could only play 5 minutes but it's enough to understand.

Today John Suhr makes and sells his own guitar (including the MODEL).
Indeed in the words of our good friend Anonymous, it would seem that between Pensa and Surh, the luthier is indeed John Suhr. All you need to see photos of this model on its website for you to realize that the violin and finishes are less than grossires Pensa (trs beautiful already let it be said).

Not that the guitars are manufactured by Pensa trs below those of Suhr (far from me this ridiculous ide) but we must recognize that the effort li a finish on guitars Suhr is much more admirable. In addition, the Suhr guitars seem a bit more affordable (I have seen in my research: around 6000 euros for a 7000 Pensa, and between 5000 and 6000 depending on the options for suhr wood, pickups, varnish etc ...) . Finally the number of MODELS by Suhr on offer is much more impressive.

I agree that is rather special to the description of a same MODEL Luthier built by another, but the name of Surh and too li has to think for one can not comettre this small gap.
