History

John Suhr's career is highlighted by some remarkable achievements. His former partnership with Rudy Pensa resulted in massive exposure for the Pensa Suhr guitars that Mark Knopfler first unveiled during the Nelson Mandela 70th birthday concert in 1988. Following the end of his official partnership with Rudy Pensa, John Suhr moved into amp design alongside US tube amp guru Bob Bradshaw, before returning to the world of high-end electric guitar building when he accepted the pretigious role of Senior Master Builder at Fender's Custom Shop. Now operating independently, John Suhr's highly refined and beautifully made interpretations of classic designs truly rank among the finest electric guitars that you will ever play.
