Andy Wood has a great appreciation for vintage T-style instruments that possess a balance of woodiness and twang. When it came time to design pickups for Andy’s Signature model, John Suhr recalled the experience of rewinding a vintage T pickup for guitar pioneer Les Paul; a pickup that embodied this classic era of tone. Utilizing a combination of plain enamel wire, identical winding techniques, and custom Alnico 5 magnets, the Woodshed Series pickups were born.
Woodshed, Single Coil T-Style, Bridge, Black
As a player, the dexterous Andy Wood holds vintage T-style instruments in high regard, especially those with the perfect balance of twang and woodiness. When the time came to design Andy Wood’s bridge pickup, John Suhr channeled his experience rewinding a vintage pickup for Les Paul himself. The resulting Woodshed pickup combines plain enamel wire, custom Alnico V magnets, and period-accurate winding techniques to deliver an updated take on the classic ’50s-era tone. Guitarists find that the pickup delivers an iconic ripping twang with a little more attitude on the bass strings and polished treble. Players who love the old-school T-style bridge pickup will fall in love with Andy Wood’s Suhr Woodshed bridge pickup.
The Woodshed Neck Pickup with its raw nickel cover offers a bit more clarity than our standard Classic T neck pickup, balancing perfectly with the Woodshed Bridge. The Woodshed Bridge Pickup truly nails the 50’s era tone with added polish on the high strings and extra attitude on the low strings.
"Something I always look for in a great Bridge T pickup is a nice aggressive bite on the bass strings without the treble strings becoming harsh. This pickup nails it!”
