A friend of mine really wanted me to try his Suhr Modern so he sent it to me so I decided to compare it to my PRS Custom 24 and Music Man JPXI. Quality-wise they are all flawless. I mean there's NOTHING bad I have to say about how these instruments were built. All cost over 3000€ if you decided to buy one. Suhr: 3500€, PRS Custom 24 2600-3200€, JPXI: 3333€.
That being said, they are all different. The PRS is most versatile, can sound like both Gibson and Fender... can do anything really. The Suhr is sparkling bright and beautiful sounding but has the least output. The neck is just perfect on the Suhr... doesn't feel like a hockey stick like Ibanez necks.
The JPXI has piezo but other than that it's the worst out of the bunch for me at least. And that is really saying a lot since the EBMM JP6 has been a favorite of mine at a certain time. The JPXI pickups sounded like they didn't have any character when compared to the other two. The neck is not for my hands since I've got huge hands. It's super thin so I don't find support for my stretches so my hand gets tired quickly.
