Hand-Torched Swamp Ash Texture Meets Noise-Free Country & Fusion Virtuosity
The Guitar Sanctuary is proud to present the Suhr Andy Wood Signature Modern T in Iron Red. Co-designed by virtuoso Andy Wood and John Suhr, this signature model combines tactile organic craftsmanship with cutting-edge 24-fret playability designed for lightning-fast hybrid picking, sweeping, and articulate lead work.
The defining characteristic of this instrument is its hand-torched Swamp Ash body. Before the satin Iron Red finish is applied, the wood is torched by hand to burn away soft grain, creating a distinctive 3D tactile grain pattern you can feel under your hands. It is paired with a Roasted Maple neck and fingerboard featuring Suhr's comfortable Modern Elliptical profile (.780"–.830"), an ultra-flat 16" fingerboard radius, and 24 jumbo stainless steel frets for effortless bends without fretting out. Hardware is anchored by a modified Wilkinson 3-saddle Classic T bridge with cut-down lip relief for smooth right-hand palm muting.
Tonal brilliance is generated by Andy's signature Suhr Woodshed T single-coil pickups featuring Alnico 5 Special magnets. Backed by Suhr's passive Active-level SSCII (Silent Single Coil II) System, this setup delivers fat, woody low-end, punchy midrange, and crystalline high-end twang—completely free of 60-cycle hum without requiring batteries.
Tone & Application Profile:
- Tone Profile: Punchy, Woody, Articulate, and Chimey with Zero 60-Cycle Hum
- Best For: Modern Country, Hybrid-Picking, Rock, Fusion, Studio Session Work, and Touring
- Compared To: Standard T-style guitars that lack 24 frets, a flat 16" fretboard radius, stainless steel frets, and tactile torched body dynamics
- Sanctuary Expert Note: The hand-torched finish gives every Iron Red Andy Wood Modern T a completely unique grain pattern and organic feel. Combined with the flat 16" radius neck and noise-free Woodshed pickups, it's one of the most expressive T-style instruments ever made.
