Suhr Classic S Paulownia • SN: 65981

Wildwoodians, we are proud to present you delectable limited edition treat from our friends at Suhr: the Classic S Paulownia. These guitars gain their name from their body material, a little-known tonewood that is taking the guitar world by storm. Let’s dive deeper and see what these lightweight beasts are all about! Paulownia is a wood native to Asia and Europe that migrated over to America in 1844, and it was named to honor the queen consort of the Netherlands, Anna Pavlovna of Russia. For centuries, Chinese luthiers have built a wide variety of zither- and lute-like instruments (the guqin, guzheng, pipa, koto, and gayageum) using paulownia as a soundboard. These ancient builders chose their material well, because paulownia has an incredibly high strength-to-weight ratio, and it is supremely resonant. Appearance-wise, it’s quite similar to ash, so it gave off classic vibes before anyone even played a note. And goodness gracious, great balls of fire, was it ever light! If you threw it up into the air, you could be forgiven for worrying that it might never come down.
