Classic Tone Straight out of the 1960s

Treat yourself — and your prized guitar — to vintage-tinged tone with a Suhr V60LP single-coil pickup. It’s designed to re-create the magical pickups loaded in the S-style guitars from the 1960s. Suhr tells Sweetwater that its team employed a proprietary winding process that perfectly replicates the qualities of hand-wound, early-1960s single-coil pickups. V60LP pickups are loaded with Alnico V magnets for a well-balanced attack and high-end clarity. Compared to the standard V60 pickups, the V60LP pickups have a slightly rounder tone with a sweet, rolled-off high-end. When installed in your guitar, Suhr V60LP pickups deliver clear, bell-like highs, tight lows, and punchy mids. Indeed, vintage pickup fans will find plenty to like about Suhr V60LP single-coil pickups.

Suhr: the pinnacle of craftsmanship, playability, and tone

Suhr doesn’t just build handcrafted, boutique-quality instruments and amplifiers — the company creates exceptional tools that fuel musical dreams and artistic passions. John Suhr began crafting custom guitars in the mid-1970s, and by the dawn of the 1980s, he was building made-to-order Pensa-Suhr instruments for a who’s who of top musicians. In the 1990s, John collaborated with celebrated rig builder Bob Bradshaw to design the now-legendary CAA 3+ and 3+SE preamps and the CAA OD-100 amplifier. In 1997, after a stint as senior master builder for Fender’s Custom Shop, John founded his own company, a decision that enabled him to bring to fruition products of unrivaled quality, detail, and craftsmanship. Today, the Suhr name is synonymous with prestige; a guitar, bass, or amplifier with the Suhr marque garners instant respect. With elite players such as Mateus Asato, Reb Beach, Scott Henderson, James Norbert Ivanyi, Andre Nieri, Pete Thorn, Ian Thornley, Doug Aldrich, and Andy Wood on the company’s roster, you can be certain that your Suhr places you in esteemed company.
