JOHN SUHR GUITARS

John Suhr started his building career some 35 years ago in New Jersey. Searching for the perfect tone during his bar band days, he began building his own instruments. In the early 80's John started working in NYC. 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.

After a brief stint as the Senior Master Builder with Fender, he started his own company, building guitars and basses using more modern methods, with the results being one of the best playing, perfect feeling guitars in the business. Stop by and see why John’s instruments are so sought after.
