“I am incredibly proud to present the newest addition to my signature guitar lineup, the Ivanyi Modern Antique. At its core, this bespoke instrument is a love letter to the vintage guitars and 1970’s aesthetic that has shaped my music from the beginning, and continues to inspire me into the future. When I was a young boy, I remember my neighbor having what I thought (and still do) was the coolest car I had ever seen, a mint condition 1974 Triumph TR6 in ‘Russet Brown’. Nothing embodied classic British muscle of the era more than this car, and it never left my mind. To now have my brand new signature guitar in this very colour is honestly a dream come true. Suhr painstakingly researched and matched the exact colour especially for this instrument, and I couldn’t be more excited to share the end result.
– James Ivanyi

The Suhr James Norbert Ivanyi Signature Modern Antique in Russet Brown (Serial #93879) is the newest guitar in the prog virtuoso’s signature line. Suhr built it in Lake Elsinore, California, and styled it after classic cars and motorcycles. The finish has a backstory: Suhr researched and color-matched the Russet Brown of a 1974 Triumph TR6, a car Ivanyi has admired since childhood. It’s one of 2 new finishes for the model. The 2-piece alder Modern body has a lacquer finish with medium aging, and the headstock is painted to match, with a gold-fill, black-outline decal. Black hardware sets off the brown. It weighs 7.1 lb.

The roasted maple neck has Suhr’s Modern Elliptical carve (.800" at the 1st fret, .850" at the 12th fret) and a satin finish that stays quick under the hand. The ebony fretboard has aged clay dot inlays and a standard edge roll. Its 10"-14" compound radius keeps chords comfortable down low while flattening out for fast, clean soloing up the neck. There are 24 jumbo stainless steel frets: you get the full upper register for extended runs, and the frets will stay smooth for years. The neck is bolted on, which gives notes a quick, articulate attack. Scale length is 25.5", and the nut is 1.650" black Tusq. A recessed Suhr 2-post tremolo with solid saddles and a steel block pairs with Suhr locking tuners to keep it in tune.

The pickups are a Suhr SSV in the neck and an SSH Plus in the bridge, controlled by just a volume knob and a 3-way blade selector. A push-push switch splits both humbuckers for single-coil tones. A mini push-button blower switch sends the bridge pickup straight to the output, skipping the rest of the circuit, so you get an instant jump in level and bite for solos. Between them, you have thick, singing humbucker leads, tight rhythm parts, and split cleans from 2 pickups. Whether you’re a prog player working through odd meters and wide-interval runs, a modern rock guitarist who wants a versatile HH guitar, or a collector of Suhr artist models, the Ivanyi Modern Antique delivers. It ships in a Suhr TravelPro Premium Softshell Case (Serial #93879). Order today from Brian’s Guitars, your authorized Suhr dealer.
