Description
The Thornbucker+ takes everything that made the original Thornbucker a hit with players chasing authentic PAF tone, then dials up the output for those who want a bit more shove behind their pick attack. You still get the same clarity, warmth, and articulate character that put the standard Thornbucker on so many players’ shortlists — it’s just wound a touch hotter, landing it squarely in overwound PAF territory. Think classic humbucker breakup with extra punch when you dig in.
Suhr built the original Thornbucker series to satisfy players hunting for that elusive vintage humbucker voice, and the response since launch has been overwhelmingly positive — praised for tonal balance as much as raw character. The Plus version is the natural next step for anyone who loved the original’s foundation but wanted a little more muscle without losing the nuance.
This particular model is set up as a bridge pickup with 53mm spacing and wound with an Alnico IV magnet, giving it a slightly softer, more compressed low-end feel than Alnico V while keeping highs open and vocal. It comes finished in raw nickel for a look that ages naturally over time.
- Spacing: 53mm
