A top-draw Suhr at a price you'll love! The Suhr Pete Thorn Signature Standard HSS is the pinnacle of musical craftsmanship, blending innovative design with unparalleled artistry. Pete Thorn, a virtuoso session guitarist who has shared stages with icons like Don Henley, Chris Cornell, and Melissa Etheridge, is a revered Suhr artist and a trailblazer in the world of gear demos. His expertise and dedication to tone are embodied in this extraordinary instrument, which sets a new benchmark for performance and versatility. At first glance, the guitar captivates with its stunning aesthetics, highlighted by a newly designed pickguard that reflects Suhr's meticulous attention to detail. At the core of its sonic identity is the groundbreaking Thornbucker II pickup, developed in collaboration between Pete Thorn and John Suhr. This pickup delivers a tonal spectrum that is as inspiring as it is versatile, allowing players to experience music on a profoundly emotional level. The body, crafted from select alder, serves as the perfect foundation for a dynamic and resonant tone. Its glossy finish not only enhances the guitar’s visual appeal but also protects the wood while ensuring seamless playability. The roasted maple neck is sculpted to provide a luxurious playing experience, while the ebony fingerboard adds a layer of smooth precision. With a Pete Thorn 60's Soft V neck profile (.830"-.910") and a compound radius of 10"-14", the guitar accommodates everything from intricate chord progressions to soaring solos with ease. Stainless steel jumbo frets (.057"x.110") further enhance durability and intonation, ensuring consistent clarity and precision across the fretboard. The electronics are a masterclass in innovation. Anchored by the Thornbucker II bridge pickup, the guitar also features V63 pickups in the middle and neck positions, delivering vintage warmth and dynamic expression. Suhr’s SSCII (Silent Single Coil II) system eliminates the notorious 60-cycle hum, providing the purity of traditional single-coil tones without compromise. Hardware excellence completes the package, with Suhr Locking Tuning Machines ensuring impeccable tuning stability and effortless string changes. The Wilkinson WVS-130 bridge, equipped with locking saddles, enhances sustain and precise intonation, offering players a gateway to unlimited sonic possibilities. The Suhr Pete Thorn Signature Standard HSS transcends the boundaries of traditional guitars, offering a harmonious blend of innovation, playability, and timeless tone. Designed for the modern musician yet rooted in classic inspiration, it is an instrument that elevates artistry and inspires sonic exploration. With this guitar, every note becomes an opportunity to create something extraordinary.
