Title: Warmoth Reb Beach Suhr Replica which pup?
Post by: sebby123 on April 09, 2009, 04:15:12 AM

So I love the Suhr Reb Beach guitar and got a quote from warmoth for 1200$  for a exact replica which isn’t bad taking in mind how expensive the Actual Suhr is regardless, I’m thinking  s-s-h with a nailbomb in the bridge but dont know what to put in there for the single coils, hmmm.. any suggestions its all the same specs as the suhr
Koa Body
Pau Ferro neck

whats are your thoughts?
Would a nailbomb be a good choice?
And what for the single coils?

I  never was able figure out what could be a BAD choice for a nailbomb   :?
maybe plywood or agathis would still suck?  :lol:

Ha good point! Im thinking a stock nailbomb over a c bomb which i wanted since i already have cold sweat's in my les paul for a little variety.

Any thoughts on what single coil's for the middle and neck position?

Very nice choice of guitar, please post a pic when it's ready!

I'd go with 2 x Trilogies - plug in, rip out some classic Winger and smile.

No idea about the pickups, but a Reb guitar is bound to be cool.  Looking forward to the pictures.

I think a Holy Diver and 2 Trilogies would work, Reb's tone is pretty high gain but also very fat.
