Suhr Ian Thornley Signature Series Classic T Trans TV Yellow
Serial Number: 93873
Weight: 7.6 lbs.

“While it has the same basic ingredients as the Lumberjack, the Television does not sound or react in quite the same way. Having had the chance to tour with it, we found the Television to be a little bit more refined than the LJ, while still retaining the same essential voice. The little changes like the pickup selector and omitting the middle pickup really bode well in the heat of battle. There are many many sounds to be discovered in the middle position, and in a studio setting these adjustments can make a big difference in an overall guitar sound. If you took the Lumberjack to etiquette school, you would have the Television!”
-Ian Thornley

The Suhr Ian Thornley Signature Classic T in Trans TV Yellow (Serial #93873) is the signature guitar of Ian Thornley, frontman and guitarist of Big Wreck. He’s known for heavy riffs and expressive, dynamic leads, and this guitar pairs a classic T-style body with Suhr’s modern specs to handle both. The body is 2-piece Fijian mahogany in a gloss Trans TV Yellow finish. A black gloss 3-ply Classic T Deluxe pickguard, black hardware, and raw nickel pickup covers stand out against the yellow. It weighs 7.6 lb.

The mahogany neck is carved to Thornley’s own V profile (.875" at the 1st fret, .970" at the 12th fret), a full, substantial shape with a satin finish that keeps it fast. The ebony fretboard has clay dot inlays and a flat 16" radius for low action and clean bends. Its 22 jumbo stainless steel frets will stay smooth for years. Scale length is 25.5", the nut is 1.650" black Tusq, and the bolt-on neck gives it snap and quick attack. The Hybrid headstock has a cream outline decal. A Suhr 2-post tremolo with solid saddles and a steel block, paired with Suhr locking tuners, keeps it in tune on stage.

The pickups are a Suhr SSV in the neck and a Suhr SSH Plus in the bridge. Controls are 2 volumes, 2 tones, and a 3-way toggle. A custom push-pull circuit is built around the middle position: it runs both humbuckers at full output there, and the push-pull splits both humbuckers in that position only. That gives you a second set of middle-position sounds without touching the neck or bridge settings. The SSH Plus handles heavy riffs and high-gain leads, and the SSV covers warm, expressive cleans. Whether you’re a hard rock player who needs both from one guitar, a studio player who wants more from the middle position, or a collector of Suhr artist models, the Thornley Classic T delivers. It ships in a Suhr TravelPro Premium Softshell Case (Serial #93873). Order today from Brian’s Guitars, your authorized Suhr dealer.
