    Throughout his illustrious career, Andy Wood has shared stages with the likes of Rascal Flatts, Scott Stapp, Sebastian Bach, Gary LeVox, and more. His hallmark genre-bending style owes to his youth as an award-winning mandolin player in eastern Tennessee. Styles spanning rock, fusion, swing, jazz, and country comprise the versatile constellation of virtuosic performance that he’s masterfully deployed across three solo albums - with a fourth just around the corner! With so much tonal territory to traverse, crafting a worthy signature guitar was no small task, but Andy’s commitment to Suhr illustrates the unrivaled ingenuity of John Suhr and his team. Sweetwater’s Mitch Gallagher and Don Carr had the privilege of hosting Andy Wood to welcome Suhr guitars to the Sweetwater fold. Join the trio for a deep dive into all things Suhr: signature gear, history, and more. Plus, a sneak peek at what to expect from Andy’s upcoming fourth LP, Charisma! Check it out!

      Reb Beach is the man I want to see talk about Suhr Guitars, Pensa Suhr!!!

    • @J.B-u5j
      @J.B-u5j 12 дней назад +1

      Reb Beach is the man and he plays Suhr guitars. There is no more Pensa-Suhr guitars. John Suhr hasn’t been involved with Pensa-Suhr since the early 1990s. He left Pensa-Suhr and moved to California to work with Bob Bradshaw at Custom Audio Electronics in the early 1990s after his Pensa-Suhr days. John Suhr then moved on to become a Senior Master Builder at the Fender Custom Shop. In 1997 John Suhr started Suhr Guitars in Lake Elsinore, California. I own several custom Suhr guitars and have visited their factory at the original location and down the street in their current location and John, his crew, and company are the real deal. The combination of Sweetwater selling Suhr guitars, amps, and effects will be fantastic.

    I played a Suhr for the first time about 17 years ago. The way the whole thing was so balanced and resonated unplugged stuck with me, and I finally bought one a couple of years ago. When it arrived, it played better out of the case than any guitar I own. Truly awesome instruments.

    I am a certified lumber inspector and when you started talking moisture content my ears perked up. I think for guitar necks at this point is to chemically "stabilize them" or some other form of equalization because guitars are bought in dessert regions and in highly humid regions and this helps that.

    • @GCKelloch
      @GCKelloch 12 дней назад +1

      Suhr necks are generally baked. I guess the wood fibers can still shift a bit after baking so letting it sit for 3 months makes sense. I had roasted-Maple w/Pau Ferro FB baritone Tele neck made by BYOC that was shipped to right after it was made, and there was some serious instability for quite a while.

    man @andywoodmusic is an incredible musician, his guitar playing is second to none imho. He totally kills on shred, morse/EJ AND is equally devastating on blue grass/chickin' pickin'. I now own 3 suhr guitars and could not be happier. Sold 4 other guitars and I do not regret it. If you haven't heard Andy play you've gotta take a listen!

    Between Andy and Pete I am always at least interested in Suhr. I have not yet bought one but I will likely one day due to the trust in them not lying to the masses about quality. HH Wood or Alt T are calling me.

  • @S69Classic
    @S69Classic 12 дней назад

    It's about time that Suhr got a major dealer (Sweetwater) I've been using Suhr gear since 2011 (Classic S with push-pull pots, 1 to turn off the SSC, and 2 to split the bridge Humbucker. And a Badger 35 with a 2x12 cab) I hope Suhr has many sales with Sweetwater, it's all about quality control and John Suhr is one of the best in the music business.

    Ferrari? Yeah, the common man’s drive. With all due respect to these guys, $3500 to $5000 is a price point many us can’t afford, or want to spend that much on a single guitar. I think bigger threat is to PRS, that has often been criticized for being “doctor/lawyer guitars”. Guessing Paul ain’t too happy about SW adding this product line.

      I mean Sweetwater also carries Gibson. Go look at the prices for the Murphy Labs Les Pauls. $6k-$11k depending on how relic'd it is. Somebody is buying all these crazy expensive guitars. They wouldn't keep carrying them if they didn't sell.

      Not every company sells budget guitars in their lineup. Given the amount of truly affordable guitars that are available to buy I don’t think that’s a valid argument against Suhr.

    Clickbait infomercial. This video dedicated maybe 90 seconds to the history of John Suhr/Guitars. I love Sweetwater and Suhr guitars, but the title of the video was intentionally misleading. Disappointed and clicked off less than halfway through. Change the title. Be better than this, Sweetwater.
