Anyone Own a Suhr Pete Thorn Guitar?

[Fiesta Red]

It wasn't a real SRV neck then. The SRV carve is an offset D. I have a '94 model sitting right here.

Didn't the Jimmie Vaughan have a V neck?

I had a black PT HH model a couple of years ago. Great guitar, very versatile. Pickups sound great and it can flat out rock. I really liked it.

I have a gold top Pete Thorn HH, like all my suhrs i find it super comfortable to play. No complaints, pickups sound great!

I saw Pete playing his in Vegas this past Sat. night. That's the only one I've seen in the wild.

The only time I saw a Suhr in person is Brian Young when he played with DLR band at rib fest. He had some Marshall power amps IIRC and seriously smoking tone.

I believe so, been a long time since I picked one up.

yes

The neck on the PT HH Signature was quite comfortable. Mahogany neck with a slight satin finish to it. Very sweet neck. The guitar was pretty light too -- less than 8 pounds, which is always nice.

Nice guitar but I just can't wrap my head around the price.

Suhr should move to Texas and sell stuff for half the price.

So Suhr is Indian?

Even though the neck profile is called “Slim” it’s very comfortable and not a shredder neck

I have no idea what his ethnicity is and don't understand why it matters.

that's the struggle. This is a used one and it's still pricey. even crazier - this is the CHEAP Suhr lol

You’re clearly not in Texas and it was a joke

Unfortunately, Suhrs don't seem to be that common in shops around the south east, I would love to get my hands on one... the big Atlanta GC had a couple of the HH models, but they had installed barbed wire strings to keep people from playing them.

The main V neck I have had much experience with was the SRV sig, and I did not like it at all.

There's one now just outside of Nashville.

Im sure they're nice but i have better things to do w/ $3800 + bucks.
Perfectly okay w/a 38 yr old beater Charvel from Japan.

I have the HSS version and it’s awesome

I love the roasted maple neck on it, it is unique and it’s fantastic

The single coils are fantastic as well and the rear pick up is my favorite humbucker in the house at the moment

I wish the fingerboard was not Ebony, but I really don’t care because it’s a great guitar

I have the $300 knock-off version, lol.

I would like the real Suhr, but yeah, super expensive.

It is not. I'd rather have a Custom Charvel. Suhrs and PRS look like my grandma's furniture, not guitars.
