Suhr Andy Wood Modern T HH WHB

Suhr Andy Wood Modern T HH WHB review

The Suhr Andy Wood Modern T HH WHB is a U.S.-made, T-style signature electric guitar listed at $4,599. The model has been available since October 2023, and its item number is 550121. Its specification centers on a swamp ash body, a roasted maple neck and fingerboard, two Suhr humbuckers, and a recessed Gotoh 510 tremolo. Suhr includes a case.

The name identifies the key configuration: "T" refers to the T-style body shape, while "HH" indicates a humbucker in both the bridge and neck positions. The finish is Whiskey Barrel, with a Torched Satin body finish. There is no separate top listed. That gives the instrument a direct, single-body construction specification rather than a figured top layered over the body.

Body, neck, and playing dimensions

The body is swamp ash, paired with a bolt-on roasted maple neck. Suhr specifies a satin neck finish and a Modern Elliptical profile measuring.780 to.830 inches. That measurement describes a neck that varies in depth along its profile. The company does not provide further details about the neck's taper, so the listed dimensions are the most precise basis for evaluating its shape.

The roasted maple fingerboard has black dot inlays and a 16-inch radius, equivalent to 406 mm. Its relatively flat stated radius is a useful point of comparison for players choosing an instrument by fingerboard geometry, though the specification alone does not establish how any individual player will find it. The neck carries 24 jumbo stainless steel frets. Stainless steel describes the fret material, while jumbo describes their listed size category; no fret measurements are supplied.

The 648 mm scale length is also specified as 25.5 inches. The nut measures 41.9 mm, or 1.65 inches, and is made from Graph Tech TUSQ. These dimensions, the fret count, and the fingerboard radius provide concrete setup references. Suhr does not list factory action, neck relief, or individual fret heights, so those details cannot be assessed from the published specifications.

Pickups and controls

The pickup set consists of a Suhr Thornbucker+ at the bridge and a Suhr Thornbucker at the neck. Both are humbuckers, and both have a raw nickel finish. The bridge pickup is the higher-output model by name, but the supplied information gives no output readings, magnet details, or frequency measurements. Any specific claim about their sound would therefore go beyond the available evidence.

Controls are straightforward: one volume control, one tone control, and a three-way pickup selector. This arrangement allows selection of the bridge pickup, neck pickup, or a combined position, based on the standard operation of a three-way selector for this two-pickup layout. The specification does not mention coil splitting, additional switching, or onboard active electronics, so none should be assumed.

Tremolo and hardware

A recessed Gotoh 510 tremolo is fitted, alongside chrome hardware and Suhr locking tuning machines. The recessed mounting is a stated design feature, but the supplied data does not specify the bridge's setup range, spring configuration, or whether it is adjusted for floating or decked use. Locking tuners are included, though no locking nut is listed. The nut is instead identified as Graph Tech TUSQ.

The listed strings are D'Addario NYXL, gauges.010 to.046. This gives a useful reference for the supplied string set, but it does not confirm that every instrument ships with an identical setup or remains in that setup after purchase. No independent measurements or play test results are available here.

What the specifications establish

The strongest evidence for this model is its clearly defined construction and hardware package: swamp ash body, bolt-on roasted maple neck, roasted maple fingerboard, 24 stainless steel jumbo frets, two specified Suhr humbuckers, and a recessed Gotoh tremolo. The signature details include the Andy Wood association and a laser-engraved Andy Wood signature on the back of the headstock. Suhr states that the guitar is made in the United States.

The Whiskey Barrel color and Torched Satin body finish identify the stated appearance, while the raw nickel pickup covers and chrome hardware provide further finish details. These descriptions do not establish how the finish looks under different lighting or how it will wear over time. No customer reviews are available for this product, so there is no customer evidence to report about consistency, reliability, or long-term performance.

Verdict

On paper, the Suhr Andy Wood Modern T HH WHB is a premium T-style guitar with a specific signature pickup pairing, a recessed tremolo, locking tuners, and a roasted maple neck and fingerboard. The 25.5-inch scale, 16-inch radius, 1.65-inch nut, and.780 to.830-inch neck depth offer useful selection criteria for players comparing instruments by dimensions. At $4,599, the buyer is paying for the stated Suhr construction, components, and signature specification. The included case is confirmed; a bag is not included. Sound, setup quality, and individual feel require direct inspection, since the available information provides specifications rather than hands-on findings.
