Boutique T-Style Authority Meets High-Gain Versatility

The Guitar Sanctuary is proud to present the Suhr Ian Thornley Classic T Signature in a stunning Satin Natural finish—affectionately known by fans and players around the world as "The Lumberjack." Built to the exacting performance standards of Big Wreck frontman Ian Thornley, this signature model merges the classic single-cutaway T-style silhouette with aggressive, modern humbucking power and effortless playability.

Featuring a lightweight mahogany body paired with an exquisite roasted maple neck and fingerboard, "The Lumberjack" exhibits an incredibly warm, organic acoustic resonance with blistering sustain. The satin finish lets the tonewood breathe freely while offering a super-smooth, tactile feel under your hands, ensuring hours of comfortable stage or studio play.

Sanctuary Expert Insight & Tonal Architecture

Ian Thornley’s complex rhythmic and lead work requires a massive sonic palette. Suhr equips this Classic T with an SSV humbucker in the neck position and an SSH+ humbucker in the bridge, wired through custom push/pull tone controls for series/parallel and coil-split configurations. Whether you need thick, singing high-gain leads, pristine glassy cleans, or snappy single-coil bite, this guitar delivers with absolute authority.
