SUHR THORNBUCKER™ - FIRST IMPRESSIONS - BY PETE THORN
Suhr Thornbucker Pickups, demo by Pete Thorn
“Clean amp options are fun with this pickup, as series mode has an opulence and split/parallel options have some glassy chime.”
“I seem to hear a broad footprint across the mids that give that growl in the low mids as well as a snarl in the high mids.”
