Pete Thorn Signature Series Standard HSS

The all-new Pete Thorn Standard HSS Signature has a new pickguard design, as well as a new Pete Thorn & John Suhr design pickup called the ‘Thornbucker II’. The cornerstone of all of Pete Thorn’s guitars is their unmatched versatility, attention to detail and tone.

“The super-comfortable all-new roasted maple Pete Thorn Signature 60s soft V-neck shape is like a blend of my favorite vintage ’64 and my favorite Suhr Classic S necks. The warm, clear, and ballsy sounding, all-new Thornbucker II humbucker integrates beautifully with the Suhr V63 single coils and versatile pickup switching. John and I worked really hard to perfect the look and flow of the new pick guard design and I chose some familiar and some brand new awesome colors. This guitar is a gigging players dream. Just like my two humbucker Signature model, this is a versatile tone machine with stunning looks, it's both classic and fresh.” -Pete Thorn

Thornbucker II Pickup

WARMTH. CLARITY. OPENNESS. Pete has always been inspired by the “hot PAF into a cranked plexi” tones a legendary guitarist used to create magic in the 70’s and 80’s. This new design starts with our special Thornbucker wind, with a few more turns on the coil, up to 9k, paired with an Alnico II magnet. The Alnico II gives more of a warm top-end that perfectly blends with a high-gain, British sound. The result is high-notes have a body and openness, without too much top-end. Warmth, power, sweetness and clarity.

Specifications: 

• DC RESISTANCE: ~ 9.1KΩ (50mm) ~ 9.3KΩ (53mm) 
• MAGNET TYPE: Alnico II 
• WIRE TYPE: Plain Enamel 

V63 Pickup

Suhr’s V63 pickups are wound to have the same tonal characteristics as those found by John Suhr in a particularly sweet 1963 S type guitar. The magnets are made by the same company that made the magnets for Fender® in the early 60’s and have the exact same formulation and use the same manufacturing process. V63 pickups incorporate a modified staggered pole piece design to provide an even magnetic field needed to accommodate instruments with flatter neck radius and today’s string gauges.

• V63 NECK DC RESISTANCE: ~ 6.4KΩ 
• V63 MIDDLE DC RESISTANCE: ~ 6.4KΩ 
• MAGNET TYPE: Alnico V Special 
• HOOK UP WIRE: Braided Cloth
