In Pete Thorn's own words:
"We are happy to introduce the new Thornbucker + bridge pickup. It retains all the clarity, warmth, character, and mojo of the original Thornbuckers, and adds a bit more power and oomph. Great for players that like a slightly overwound PAF-type tone!
We're overjoyed with the enthusiasm from players for the Thornbucker humbucking pickups! The pickups have been a resounding success, garnering praise for their extraordinary tone and balance. I'm truly honoured and excited that so many guitarists are enjoying them as much as I do."
Through their experimentation with all the variables: magnets, wire, covers, and winds, Suhr made countless prototypes and listened. Eventually they hit on the formula that captures all of the essence of the most coveted 50s 'patent applied for' style pickups. If you are a player searching for a product that captures all the subtleties, nuances and feel of a great vintage pickup, then Thornbuckers are the perfect pickup for you.
