Suhr Andy Wood Signature Modern T SS - Whiskey Barrel Torched Satin Fixed Bridge

Iconic Torched Whiskey Barrel Grain Meets Fixed-Bridge Resonance & Noise-Free Twang

The Guitar Sanctuary is proud to present the Suhr Andy Wood Signature Series Modern T SS in the iconic Whiskey Barrel finish. Co-designed by virtuoso Andy Wood and John Suhr, this signature instrument combines organic hand-torched lutherie with high-performance 24-fret playability engineered for blazing hybrid picking, country chicken-pickin', modern fusion, and articulate rhythm execution.

The hallmark of this instrument is its hand-torched select Swamp Ash body. Before the satin Whiskey Barrel finish is applied, the body is hand-torched to burn away soft grain, creating a 3D tactile wood texture you can feel. It is paired with a satin-finished 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 pitch bends and high-speed soloing. Hardware performance is anchored by a modified Wilkinson 3-saddle Classic T bridge with cut-down lip relief, offering classic brass-saddle snap and resonance with maximum right-hand palm-muting comfort.

Sonic power is driven by Andy's signature Suhr Woodshed T single-coil pickups featuring Alnico 5 Special magnets. Backed by Suhr's passive SSCII (Silent Single Coil II) System, this setup delivers fat, woody low-end, articulate midrange bite, and bell-like high-end chime—100% free of 60-cycle hum on stage or in the studio without requiring batteries.

Tone & Application Profile:

• Tone Profile: Punchy, Woody, Articulate, and Chimey with Fixed-Bridge Sustain and 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" radius, stainless steel frets, battery-free noise cancellation, and tactile torched body dynamics
• Sanctuary Expert Note: Whiskey Barrel is the flagship finish that started it all for Andy Wood and Suhr. The fixed Wilkinson bridge paired with the torched Swamp Ash body gives this SS model unbelievable acoustic snap and immediate note attack. It's an essential instrument for serious country, rock, and fusion pickers.
