Suhr Pete Thorn Signature Series Standard Black

Suhr Pete Thorn Signature Series Standard Black
Serial Number: 93876
Weight: 7.12 lbs.

The Suhr Pete Thorn Signature Standard in Black (Serial #93876) is the signature guitar of Pete Thorn, the session and touring guitarist who has played behind Don Henley, Chris Cornell, and Melissa Etheridge. Thorn has worked with Suhr for more than a decade. Before this guitar, that partnership produced his PT100 amplifier and Thornbucker pickups. The guitar debuted at NAMM 2017 and is based on a custom-spec Suhr Standard that Thorn played for 2 years in the studio and on tour before it became a production model.

The body is 2-piece Fijian mahogany, chambered, with a 2-piece plain maple top 3/16" thick. The top is finished in gloss black, and the natural brown mahogany shows on the back and sides. Scraped binding along the edge of the top separates the two. The matching black headstock face has Suhr’s Original shape and a mother of pearl inlay logo. It weighs 7.12 lb.

The mahogany neck has Pete Thorn’s 60’s Soft V carve (.830" at the 1st fret, .910" at the 12th fret) and a satin finish that stays fast under the hand. The Indian rosewood fretboard has mother of pearl face dots and a 10"-14" compound radius, which keeps chords comfortable down low while flattening out for fast, clean soloing up the neck. It has 22 jumbo stainless steel frets, which stay smooth and resist wear for years of heavy playing. Other specs: 25.5" scale length, 1.687" Tusq White nut, and a bolt-on neck joint for snap and quick note attack. The Suhr 2-post tremolo has solid saddles and a steel block, and Suhr locking tuners keep it in tune through bar work.

The pickups are a Thornbucker Zebra in the neck and a Thornbucker Plus Zebra in the bridge, both in pickup rings. This was the first Suhr model to use pickup rings. Controls are volume, tone, and a 5-way blade selector, plus a push-pull that switches the bridge pickup to parallel wiring for a brighter, clearer tone without losing much output. The Thornbuckers cover warm, vocal neck leads, thick classic-rock crunch from the bridge, and the parallel setting for cleaner rhythm parts. Whether you’re a session player who needs one guitar for every call, a rock player chasing Thorn’s touring tone, or a collector of Suhr artist models, this guitar delivers. It ships in a Suhr TravelPro Premium Softshell Case (Serial #93876). Order today from Brian’s Guitars, your authorized Suhr dealer.
