Yes but it's kinda Fenders design, and Warmoth are an approved Fender licensed parts supplier so no real surprise.
Obviously I love Suhr kit, but am sometimes confused when I see people criticise them for too much bling, or when there is none, for not being discernable from something like a MIM for example. Can't win and I don't know why it matters. One of the many things I like about Suhr is their ability to add killer features without making them obvious.
For example, on the JM you get the silent single coil system on the P90 models, the recessed Tonepros bridge rather than just plonking it on the body and stainless steel frets. Small details, but that's where quality starts.
I guess I don't have any brand out there which gets my back up so always like to understand what it is that gets others niggled about things such as Suhr. It's all just opinion and I certainly don't feel the need to defend my preferences, but am intrigued when brands annoy people :-)

The finer details of the new JM are likely very well considered indeed, but what an incredibly uninspiring design, sticking a few P90's or Humbuckers on a JM body has been done to death in the last few years.
Conversly, the new Pete Thorn model looks all kinds of awesome. I love that the natural back and sides make them true "gold-top" and black-top" guitars. It's subtle, but there is some flare there. Maybe they should get Pete to design more of their guitars!
I'm glad we don't just have Fender, Gibson, Guild and Rickenbacker. Allows for others to take a tried and tested design and tweak/improve it.
Suhr Moderns have a silhouette I could easily identify, the Knopfler Suhr is iconic and there aren't that many 24 fret Teles out there. So design wise, I think they've bought some ideas to the party.

This offset looks like the £75ish DIY kit you can buy online, only yknow, over two grand.

That JM is lovely.
I can't help about the shape I'm in, I can't sing I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to
I haven't checked the other models but perhaps that's standard? It's still a bloody rip off. I'd rather go out there and get one myself.
Hubba hubba.

Saw this on the Suhr twitter feed the other day. More Thornley JM finishes coming at NAMM?
