Suhr Pete Thorn Signature Custom HSS Electric Guitar - Red Sparkle

Suhr Pete Thorn Signature Custom HSS Electric Guitar - Red Sparkle | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls

The Suhr Pete Thorn Signature Custom HSS is a world-class professional electric guitar built to the exacting specifications of one of modern rock's most respected session and touring guitarists. Combining an alder S-style body, roasted maple neck, and ebony fingerboard with a dual V63 single-coil and SSH+ humbucker configuration, this guitar delivers sweeping tonal versatility from shimmering cleans to high-output rock without compromise. Finished in a stunning Red Sparkle gloss and equipped with an FU-Tone double-locking tremolo and D-Tuna, this is a performance-ready professional instrument available now at No Limit Guitar Co in Idaho Falls.

Product Overview

The guitar's 2-piece alder body features arm, hand, and tummy contours for all-day playing comfort, shaped in Pete Thorn's classic S-style double-cutaway silhouette. Electronics are mounted to a black gloss 3-ply standard hybrid pickguard, with a matching black gloss 3-ply Floyd tremolo cavity cover for a clean, cohesive aesthetic. A recessed FU-Tone Floyd bridge in chrome, side-mounted input jack, and chrome strap buttons round out a hardware layout built for professional-grade reliability and stage use.

The roasted maple neck is carved to Pete's signature '60s Soft V profile — spec'd at .830 to .910 — beginning as a super-subtle V in the lower positions and gradually smoothing into a C shape as you move up the neck. The oil-finished neck back has no tint or aging, keeping the roasted maple's natural character front and center. The original-style headstock features a black gloss finish with a silver outline decal logo and Pete Thorn Signature engraving, fitted with Suhr locking tuners in chrome and a 1.687-inch FU-Tone Floyd nut in chrome.

The 10-to-14-inch compound radius ebony fingerboard uses a standard roll and features clay face dots and clay side dots for clean, understated fretboard aesthetics. Twenty-two stainless steel jumbo frets offer exceptional durability and a smooth, fast feel that resists wear over years of heavy playing. The electronics package features V63 single-coils in both the neck and middle positions (black covers), an SSH+ humbucker at the bridge with a chrome window cover, and a black 5-way blade selector. A push-pull pot on the volume control activates parallel wiring on the bridge pickup for single-coil-adjacent tones, while the SSCII system keeps both single-coils hum-free. A customer-supplied D-Tuna is installed on the tremolo block for instant Drop D access — no retuning required. Auto split is active in position 2 of the selector.

Key Features

Pete Thorn '60s Soft V Roasted Maple Neck Carved to Pete's personal specification (.830–.910), this oil-finished roasted maple neck transitions from a subtle V at the nut to a comfortable C at the upper frets. Roasting enhances stability and gives the neck a lighter, more resonant character that improves with age.

Compound Radius Ebony Fingerboard with Standard Roll The 10-to-14-inch compound radius fingerboard flattens out as you move toward the higher frets to facilitate effortless bending without fretting out. Clay dots on both the face and side keep the look clean and classic.

Dual Suhr V63 Single-Coils with SSCII and Auto Split The V63 pickups deliver shimmering, articulate single-coil character across the neck and middle positions. Suhr's SSCII system eliminates hum without altering tone, and auto split activates in position 2 of the 5-way selector for additional tonal options.

SSH+ Humbucker with Push-Pull Parallel Switching The bridge-position SSH+ humbucker brings focused, high-output attack for rock and high-gain applications. The push-pull volume pot activates parallel wiring on the bridge pickup, unlocking a single-coil-adjacent voice for even greater switching versatility.

FU-Tone Recessed Double-Locking Floyd Tremolo with D-Tuna The recessed FU-Tone Floyd tremolo in chrome delivers screaming dive-bombs and smooth whammy response with superior tuning stability. The D-Tuna attachment allows instant Drop D tuning with a single movement — no tuning peg adjustment needed.

Stainless Steel Jumbo Frets Twenty-two stainless steel jumbo frets provide a fast, smooth playing surface that is highly resistant to wear, delivering years of consistent feel and performance without the need for refrets.
