Suhr Pete Thorn Signature Traditional 90 - Transparent White

Vintage "S-Style" Soul with Zero-Hum P-90 Bridge Punch

The Guitar Sanctuary is proud to present the Suhr Pete Thorn Signature Series Traditional 90 in Transparent White. Developed through close collaboration between John Suhr and legendary tone-master Pete Thorn, the PT Traditional 90 represents a major breakthrough for players who love classic three-single-coil layouts but demand a fatter, punchier, and completely noise-free bridge tone.

This Transparent White edition features a select Swamp Ash body beneath a lightly aged Nitrocellulose Lacquer finish, paired with a stunning 3A Roasted Birdseye Maple neck and fingerboard. At the core of its tonal versatility is the all-new PT90 bridge pickup paired with Suhr's Active SSCII (Silent Single Coil) system, providing explosive P-90 drive without traditional single-coil hum. Matched with two Suhr V63 single-coils in the neck and middle positions, this guitar delivers glassy bell-like cleans and searing lead voices with zero noise interference.

Tone & Application Profile:

• Tone Profile: Dynamic, Punchy, Glassy, and Articulate with Zero 60-Cycle Hum
• Best For: Studio Session Work, Modern Worship, Classic Rock, Blues, and Stage Performance
• Compared To: Traditional S-style guitars that lack bridge-position output and suffer from single-coil hum
• Sanctuary Expert Note: Pete Thorn and Suhr solved the biggest flaw in classic S-style guitars. The PT90 bridge pickup delivers massive, full-bodied midrange drive that balances effortlessly with the chimey V63 neck/middle pickups—making it one of the most versatile session instruments in our shop.

“The PT Traditional 90 strikes the perfect balance between modern features and vintage soul! This one is for players that love "S style" guitars with three single coils, but long for an improved bridge pickup tone, with no noise! The all new PT90 bridge pickup delivers fat punch and clarity, and balances perfectly with the neck and middle V63 single coils. A 9-12" compound radius fingerboard, Suhr 2 post tremolo with bent saddles, and true lacquer finish round out the package.” -Pete Thorn
