Suhr Andy Wood Modern T WHB

Suhr Andy Wood Modern T WHB review

The Suhr Andy Wood Modern T WHB is a United States-made, T-style electric guitar associated with guitarist Andy Wood. Its listed price is 4499, with no currency specified in the supplied information. The model has been available since July 2023, and its item number is 550142. No customer reviews were supplied, so this assessment is based only on the published specifications. It does not make claims about playing feel, sound quality, or long-term reliability.

The instrument pairs a swamp ash body with a roasted maple bolt-on neck and roasted maple fingerboard. Its Whiskey Barrel color and Torched Satin body finish give the specification sheet a clear visual identity, while the neck has a satin finish. There is no separate top listed. A laser-engraved Andy Wood signature on the back of the headstock identifies the artist connection without relying on a prominent front-facing logo detail.

Neck, fingerboard, and scale

The neck profile is listed as Modern Elliptical, measuring.780 to.830 inches. The fingerboard radius is 16 inches, and the nut measures 1.65 inches wide. A Graph Tech TUSQ nut, black dot inlays, and stainless steel jumbo frets complete the fingerboard specification. The scale length is 25.5 inches, also listed as 648 mm. These measurements describe a full-scale layout; how the neck and fret dimensions feel in hand cannot be established from specifications alone.

There is a discrepancy in the supplied data concerning fret count. The general specification list states 24 frets, while the detailed construction section specifies 22 stainless steel jumbo frets. Since the more detailed entry gives both the fret material and size, this review reports the conflict rather than treating either number as confirmed. Buyers should verify the fret count with Suhr or the seller before ordering, particularly if the number of frets is a deciding factor.

Pickups and controls

The guitar uses two Suhr Woodshed single-coil pickups, one at the bridge and one at the neck. The pickup configuration is marked SS in the summary, consistent with two single-coil positions. Controls comprise one volume knob, one tone knob, and a three-way switch. The available information does not specify pickup output, magnet type, wiring options, or measured frequency response, so those details should not be inferred from the model name or configuration.

This is a straightforward control layout on paper, with the switch selecting between the two pickups and their combined position typically available on a three-way arrangement. The supplied data confirms the switch and pickup positions, but does not describe its exact wiring behavior. No onboard preamp or additional switching system is listed.

Bridge, hardware, and included case

A Wilkinson three-saddle bridge is specified, along with chrome hardware and Suhr locking tuners. The guitar has no tremolo, so the bridge specification points to a fixed-bridge setup rather than a vibrato system. The saddle count and bridge type are useful details for players comparing hardware layouts, but the data does not state the bridge material, saddle material, or adjustment range.

The listed factory strings are D'Addario NYXL1046, in a.010 to.046 gauge set. The package includes a softshell case. The summary also marks a case as included and a bag as not included, which matches the detailed description. The sales unit is one piece. These details clarify what is supplied, though the specifications do not describe the case's padding or level of protection.

Technical assessment

The Modern T WHB is specified with a familiar T-style body format, a full 25.5-inch scale, two single-coil pickups, and a fixed three-saddle bridge. Its more distinctive listed construction choices are the roasted maple neck and fingerboard, stainless steel jumbo frets, and the named Modern Elliptical neck profile. Those are concrete points for comparison, not proof of a particular sound or playing experience.

The clearest caution is the conflicting fret count. The stated price, finish, hardware, and included softshell case are otherwise presented without an obvious mismatch in the supplied details. For a purchase decision, confirm the 22-versus-24-fret specification and the price currency with the seller. With no customer feedback available, claims about comfort, tuning stability, pickup character, or finish durability would go beyond the evidence provided.
