Suhr Electric Guitars

Experience Exceptional Quality & Craftsmanship with Suhr Guitars

Brian's Guitars carries an exclusive collection of Suhr electric guitars that exemplifies the company’s longstanding commitment to excellence. Blending traditional craftsmanship with state-of-the-art technology, Suhr creates guitars of unparalleled beauty and exceptional performance.

Since going into business in 1997, Suhr has developed a widespread reputation for high quality, constant innovation, and musician-focused development. The owner and leader of the company, John Suhr began making guitars roughly three decades before establishing his namesake company as part of his ongoing attempts to perfect his tone while playing on stage with his “bar band.”

The legendary guitarists who have played or endorsed Suhr have driven its reputation as a brand for musicians in search of premium, high-performance instruments. After John Suhr founded his small custom guitar factory under his own name, he has maintained serious partnerships with guitar giants like Peter Frampton while garnering newer generations of Suhr adherents such as Shawn Mendes and Maroon 5 guitarist James Valentine. Maintaining the strictest of best practices and quality control standards, the Suhr of today continues to build the ideal electric guitars and basses with the highest standards of quality possible and unflinching attention to detail.

The Suhr Difference

So what, exactly, sets Suhr apart from other makers of electric guitars? The Suhr difference means different things to different players, but you can expect this brand to deliver…

• Advanced Technology: Suhr has a history of incorporating advanced and innovative tech into its guitar manufacturing processes. For example, its Silent Single Coil (SSC) system dramatically reduces the hum that is typically associated with single-coil pickups. SSC technology provides a much cleaner sound without negatively affecting your desired tone.
• Quality and Craftsmanship:Suhr’s reputation for exceptional build quality and meticulous craftsmanship is nothing if not well-earned. Each guitar is constructed with painstaking attention to detail, often combining traditional handcrafting techniques with modern manufacturing processes. Beyond promoting beauty, playability, and sound, Suhr’s high level of craftsmanship stresses durability and reliability. As Suhr puts it, the company’s greatest asset is its “tight-knit team of people focused on building the very best and satisfying the most discriminating players.”
• Artist Collaboration and Feedback: From Frampton to Mendes, Suhr has benefited tremendously from musician collaboration to continually innovate and improve its instruments. These collaborations are particularly valuable when it comes to meeting precise and practical performance needs.
• Exclusive Wood Selection: Although all Suhr components and materials are of exceptional quality, the company is particularly well-known for using high-quality wood in its instruments, often with an emphasis on environmental sustainability and curing processes that contribute to sonic factors such as tone and resonance. Some notable woods commonly used in Suhr manufacturing include Burl Redwood, Swamp Ash, Roasted Maple, White Limba, and Paulownia.
