  • DESCRIPTION

The Suhr Select Alt-T Cat's Eye guitars are a collaboration between Humbucker Music and Suhr and is available in very limited numbers.

The Suhr Select Alt-T cat's Eye is essentially an Alt-T with some minor refinements. We changed the pickups to the ever popular (and most requested) Thornbuckers, the maple neck is now Roasted Maple, the fingerboard markers are Abalone, and the F-Hole has been replaced with the sleek Cat's Eye sound hole. We also chose some custom color/pickguard combinations.

Each Suhr Select Alt T goes through the same renowned individual setup process that $10-15k Suhr Custom guitars go through. For the money, these guitars simply CANNOT be beat. If this guitar were ordered outside this special run, it would cost $4570.

The neck is made from roasted maple and features a vintage 60's Medium C shape with a Rosewood fingerboard, medium stainless steel frets, and Abalone Dot Inlays. The fingerboard has rolled edges and a 9"-12" compound radius, great for smooth bends. These appointments create a comfortable, fast feeling neck with long lasting playability.

About the Pickups in this Guitar

Suhr ThornBucker Pickups are designed out of a need for a no-compromise, consistent set of 50's Gibson PAF style pickups with none of the downsides associated with them. 50's Gibson PAF humbucker pickups have long since been coveted for their exceptional tone and ability to play both clean and dirty. With inspiration from Pete Thorn, Suhr has brought us the perfect set of PAF pickups, while also bringing them into the modern age. The ThornBucker pickups have 4 conductor wiring (ability to coil tap) and a variety of spacing options.

Specs:
Magnet: Alnico V
DC Resistance: 7.3KΩ in Neck,  9.1KΩ in Bridge
Wire: Plain Enamel
Hook Up Wire: 4-Conductor
