PETE THORN CUSTOM HSS
The Ultimate High-Output Rock Machine: At the heart of the PT Signature Custom HSS is John Suhr’s favorite high output humbucker, the SSH Plus. This pickup is renowned for its powerful, high-gain output, delivering searing leads and aggressive rhythms that cut through any mix.
FU-Tone Bridge with D-Tuna (Blocked for Dive Only): Built to withstand the most demanding whammy bar techniques, the FU Tone bridge ensures rock-solid tuning stability and superior intonation with a solid brass block and titanium screws and inserts. Dive-bombs and squeals have never sounded so good or stayed in tune so perfectly. Equipped with the D-Tuna for easy drop tuning at the drop of a hat.
“Each year in the winter, I head over to Europe to do a string of dates with The Classic Rock Show. Before the last tour, looking at the set list, I had a thought – I need one supercharged version of my signature model, a high output rock machine that can withstand hardcore whammy abuse!
We contacted FU Tone about a bridge, and I spec’d John Suhr’s favorite high output humbucker, the SSH+.
The PT Signature Custom HSS was born!”
