Short history of the Suhr guitars
John Suhr started working for Rudy Pensa at Rudy’s Music Stop in NYC in early 80’s. It was during this time that the “Pensa-Suhr” guitars were born. John built guitars under the “Pensa-Suhr” brand for Mark Knopfler, Eric Clapton, Peter Frampton, Lou Reed, Bill Connors, Steve Stevens, Reb Beach, Pat Thrall, Little Steven, Victor Bailey Pensa-Suhr Bass, Chuck Loeb, Eddie Martinez (Robert Palmer) and many others. Rudy Pensa is still working in NYC and produces guitars to Mark Knopfler and direction his great store with huge collection of vintage and unique guitars.
John left NYC to work with Robert Bradshaw in 91′ who has been the producer of Custom Audio Amplifiers. In 1995 John felt his original calling and accepted a job as Senior Master Builder at the Fender Custom Shop. There he built custom guitars to order and was involved in R&D for new product development. His clients included and still include Michael Landau, Scott Henderson, Doug Aldrich and Peter Frampton.
John Suhr opened up his own small factory building custom guitars to order in 1997. He finally had total control over the entire process of building the ideal electric guitars and basses with the highest standards of quality possible and unflinching attention to detail.
Now John is entering the most creative phase of his career after his son Kevin joined the Suhr Guitars and Amplifiers.
