Suhr Pete Thorn Signature - Is This The Ultimate Super Strat?

In this video, I look at the Suhr Pete Thorn Signature guitar. This fantastic guitar was made to guitarist Pete Thorns specs by Suhr guitars USA.
Although this guitar looks like a standard twin humbucker rock machine, it's got a few tricks up its sleeve.
In this video, I am using a BluGuitar Amp1 with a Two Notes Torpedo Studio to get the amp tones.
The Studio Rats are core band members Paul Drew on guitar/production/mixing, drummer James Ivey and Dan Hawkins on bass. They collaborate with singers and musicians to produce radio-ready songs.

I own two Suhr guitars. Probably the best guitars I’ve owned in my 50 years of buying guitars.

This is the first Suhr that just made my jaw drop. At the time, I didn't know who Suhr was, and didn't know who Pete Thorn was, but it was just the most beautiful guitar I'd ever seen.

Your musicality and the chords you play are just magical and inspiring. Such a refreshing break from the same 'ole blues licks everyone else seems to play. Your demo really shows the variety of tones and versatility of this guitar. I am awaiting my custom chambered mahogany Suhr Modern T with Thornbucker+/Thornbucker pickups and Pete Thorn electronics. Great video. Lots to learn from your playing and chord voicings. Thank you.

I've owned this guitar for years and stumbled across your review here...very well done, and your tones are OUTSTANDING! Wish I could play like you!

I'm interested in that Suhr/PRS comparison video.... Being a DGT lover myself I've been tempted by the Suhr PT as Hope to see that one soon...

Pete's guitars are simply elegant rock machines. I love this design. I have a Fender Big Apple Strat which would be quite similar but the beauty of the Suhr is outstanding.

I have 4 guitars with bridge humbuckers - 3 have Thornbuckers. So good.

Gorgeous guitar, fantastic demo! Thanks for sharing!

[rskirk]

This is my first time I have seen your channel and this guitar. This guitar sounds amazing and is incredibly diverse. Nice review!

My fave part was the bit on the Les Paul. God I love those things

[jayl]

I love mine. Would also love a comparison with the DGT.

I thought the opening sounded like a Les Paul with 50s wiring. Naturally, the design gives tighter bass and less lower mids. For ages, humbuckers have been voiced hotter and darker, and perhaps that's how people think of Les Pauls now, but the first demo examples I heard of a Les Paul had that vintage openness and presence. I've got two Les Pauls; one is a Gibson voiced mid heavy, and the other is a copy with a 50s wiring harness, and PAF clones with output on the lower side. Two different beasts entirely. This Suhr sounds great! The closest I've come to playing a guitar with the Suhr precision and build quality was a Levinson Blade many years ago. That blue Suhr Tom Quayle used to play was amazing- easily his most unique tone. I'd love that guitar.

I’ve been considering a Suhr limited edition legacy guitar, but was unsure about the emg pickups….this demo changed my mind completely after hearing the 4th abs 5th position neck pickup….outstanding playing and a great video…thank you! 🤘🔥

Stainless steel frets is the way to go, I love them!

[martinclayton]

That's a beautiful guitar, I'd love to get one!

[BrianBower]

Came across this as I am getting a Thornbucker equipped Strandberg. You got some nice tones here man. Great playing and video!

[Sodacake]

This and the DGT are honestly the only guitars with split coils I've heard that actually sound like single coils.

[andrewmarsh]

Very cool. I did a similar thing with a tele years ago. Except my neck was a single coil. I since went back to a three way switch. But this! I want one!

[colinrobertson]

Love the Suhr stuff. Cheers for the video.
