Suhr's Classic T pickups are the result of an extensive research into what made the pickups of T-style instruments so special and renowned for their unmistakable sonic quality heard on pop and rock music records of the past half-century. T Bridge pickup retains the twang and the bite of the best vintage T-style pickups while doing away with piercing or harsh highs that are common in pickups of this type.
Classic T, Single Coil, Bridge, Black
The tones of T-style guitars have shaped the landscape of pop, rock, country, and their countless permutations for over 50 years. Chief contributors to these iconic sonics are the placement and orientation of single-coil pickups, and Suhr’s Classic T melds founder John Suhr’s decades of expertise with a soulful voicing that has six-string studio scholars enamored by its flexible yet characteristic vintage-honoring twang.
Its Alnico V magnets unlock sweet heat that imbues your sound with bite and style, delivering balanced voicing and ample definition in each register, minus the harsh high-end textures that can plague some T-style pickups. From Texas tones to Nashville nuance, the Classic T’s snappy, versatile output does justice to the decades of T-stye tone that came before it.
SUHR: UNRIVALED IN CRAFTSMANSHIP
Suhr doesn’t just build handcrafted, boutique-quality instruments and amplifiers — the company creates exceptional tools that fuel musical dreams and artistic passions. John Suhr began crafting custom guitars in the mid-1970s, and by the dawn of the 1980s, he was building made-to-order Pensa-Suhr instruments for a who’s who of top musicians. In the 1990s, John collaborated with celebrated rig builder Bob Bradshaw to design the now-legendary CAA 3+ and 3+SE preamps and the CAA OD-100 amplifier. In 1997, after a stint as senior master builder for Fender’s Custom Shop, John founded his own company, a decision that enabled him to bring to fruition products of unrivaled quality, detail, and craftsmanship.
Today, the Suhr name is synonymous with prestige; a guitar, bass, or amplifier with the Suhr marque garners instant respect. With elite players such as Mateus Asato, Reb Beach, Scott Henderson, James Norbert Ivanyi, Andre Nieri, Pete Thorn, Ian Thornley, Doug Aldrich, and Andy Wood on the company’s roster, you can be certain that your Suhr places you in esteemed company.
