I gave Suhr another shot! NGD

[CarlF]

Got me a Pete Thorn sig in Garnet Red. The guitar checked all the boxes for me.
When you take the guitar out of the case and it flat out is set-up perfect that's always a good sign. I didn't have to touch a thing.

Congrats. Dig my Modern.

 

[CarlF]

Thanks! Yes, this guitar can actually make me a Suhr fan-boy. Already plotting if I could get another!

 

[Kapo_Polenton]

Nice! it has those locking saddles too looks like.

 

[JackBootedThug]

I'm shocked.....did not think you would rock anything with his name associated with it...lol...looks sweet though...

 

[jchrisf]

I hear Suhrs play themselves?

Was thinking the same , as long as I don't play it , it should sound good.

Awesome guitar. Congrats! Had one just like it. Foolishly sold it thinking I needed a HSS Strat instead, but that Thorn sounded great, played so well, and was dead sexy. Mine had a weird thing where one note on the neck would make the trem springs vibrate sympathetically, big time. I put some tissue paper in the trem cavity and it completely went away. I imagine coated springs would’ve done the trick too.

Hard to go wrong with Suhr; love 'em.

She's a beauty mate. Congrats!

Best guitar Suhr makes that isn't custom shop imho. Grats.

Suhr's are amazing guitars.

Nice catch

Congratulations! I would love to pick one of these up eventually. On paper it checks all of the boxes. How well do the trem stay in tune? I don't get crazy on the bar, but there is a huge difference in tuning stability between my two-point strat with a Gotoh 510 and my OFR Charvel.

That looks killer! How do the A2 Thornbuckers compare to the regular A5 (I think?) models?

The trem stays in tune exceptionally well.

Those saddles seem to be the difference. I am thinking of a set for my one guitar that just won't hold it's tuning. Last ditch effort.
