Player's Perspective
Music Store Live is proud to present this Suhr Ian Thornley Signature Series guitar!
Based on the popular Classic JM guitar from Suhr, this has a few subtle twists that allow it to rock just a bit harder, sound just a bit meaner, cut through just a bit sharper, and ultimately kick just that much more ass. The offset body shape is a classic and the Antigua Burst is an awesome throwback finish that harkens back to the late 70's. The HSH pickup design is versatile and the series/parallel rocker switches add another depth of useful and musical tones right at your fingertips.
The neck gives you a solid chunk of wood to hold onto. It's got some good girth to it that makes chord shapes super comfortable. The fretwork is pure perfection and the action was nice and low on this right out of the box. The 16" radius is nice and flat and pairs well with the round neck.
Overall, this is an effortless guitar to play that will rock hard and will absolutely get the attention of your peers.
