Suhr Pete Thorn Signature Custom HSS - Graphite Metallic with FU-Tone Floyd

Tour-Ready High-Gain Power Meets Precision Double-Locking Stability

The Guitar Sanctuary is proud to present the Suhr Pete Thorn Signature Custom HSS in Graphite Metallic. Designed by session veteran Pete Thorn to handle the rigorous demands of touring with The Classic Rock Show in Europe, this custom instrument is engineered specifically as a supercharged, high-output rock machine built to withstand heavy whammy bar technique while maintaining absolute tuning accuracy.

Featuring a select Alder body finished in striking Graphite Metallic, this guitar is paired with a fast Roasted Maple neck, an Ebony fingerboard, and a 10"-14" compound radius. Positioned in the bridge is John Suhr’s personal favorite high-gain humbucker—the SSH Plus—delivering rich sustain, punchy low-end, and searing lead tones that cut through any dense stage or studio mix. Complemented by two Suhr V63 single-coils and Suhr's Active SSCII system, you enjoy classic single-coil chime with zero 60-cycle hum.

Performance hardware is anchored by a high-end FU-Tone Double-Locking Tremolo bridge equipped with titanium screws, titanium inserts, a solid brass block, and an EVH D-Tuna (factory blocked for dive-only operation). This setup guarantees maximum acoustic resonance, smooth pitch control, and instantaneous Drop-D tuning on the fly.

Tone & Application Profile:

• Tone Profile: Tight, Aggressive, Searing, and Articulate with Zero 60-Cycle Hum
• Best For: Hard Rock, Arena Rock, Classic Rock, Fusion, and High-Gain Studio Tracking

• Sanctuary Expert Note: The Graphite Metallic finish gives this Pete Thorn Custom HSS a clean, industrial look. Combined with the brass block and titanium hardware on the FU-Tone Floyd, the resonance and sustain on this guitar are off the charts.
