What began as a hobby in New Jersey has blossomed into a worldwide phenomenon. Suhr guitars and basses command respect worldwide. They’re all built with the finest possible materials and crafted with extreme attention to detail. Though inspired by the classic American instruments, Suhr guitars and basses feature intelligent tweaks from John Suhr and a level of handcraftmanship that’s hard to describe. And with elite players on their roster, such as Mateus Asato, Reb Beach, Scott Henderson, James Norbert Ivanyi, Andre Nieri, Pete Thorn, Ian Thornley, Doug Aldrich, and Andy Wood, owning a Suhr guitar or bass places you in good company.
Company founder John Suhr cut his teeth designing amplifiers way back in the 1990s. He and Robert Bradshaw designed the now-legendary CAA 3+ and 3+SE preamps and the CAA OD-100 amplifier. Since launching the Suhr brand, John Suhr has revived his love affair with amplifiers. Portable all-tube models such as the Bella and Hedgehog give you amazing American-style tones. Meanwhile, the Badger and PT100 supply classic British tones that cover any music style imaginable. Matching cabinets are also available.
Even if you’re not playing a Suhr instrument, you can still tap into the signature Suhr sound. We stock a wide range of custom-wound Suhr pickups that players can install into their favorite guitar or bass. Various pickups are available, including single-coils, humbuckers, and bass pickups. That’s not all, though. Suhr also manufactures plenty of pedals, including overdrives, boosts, fuzzes, compressors, modulators, and delays.
Suhr also makes tone-enhancing tools to help you complete your rig. Their tone tools include external buffers, analog cabinet emulators, and even MIDI controllers for your pedalboard. Every tone tool is designed to improve your workflow and enhance your rig’s capabilities. If you’re serious about your sound, then Suhr’s tone tools are the best way to round out your rig and preserve your carefully crafted tone.
