Sound Pure's Take
This is one of the most versatile guitars that Suhr makes due to the pickup configuration. Whatever style of music you're playing, this Roughneck will deliver huge tones and definition with the highest playability on the market.
From John Suhr Guitars
The all-new Suhr Ian Thornley Signature Classic S “Roughneck” & “Sonic White” have all of the incredible tone and playability that you would expect to find in an instrument with Ian Thornley’s signature on the back. Both of Ian’s new signature models have a classic alder body, with a roasted maple neck with his custom “Ian Thornley V” neck shape, setting an incredible stage for Ian to build a powerhouse of an instrument. Equipped with an Aldrich Humbucker neck and bridge pickup and an ML Standard in the middle position, combined with Ian’s custom wiring gives you access to a complete range of tone, covering any genre you can imagine playing. Driving riffs, soaring leads, and clean, clear rhythms.
