John Suhr has been building guitars since the 1980s in New York and California. In 1991, Suhr teamed with Robert Bradshaw to design custom guitar preamps for the celebrated Bradshaw systems, and later accepted the post of Senior Master Builder at the Fender Custom Shop. Surh guitars and amplifiers are now made in Lake Elsinore, California, and show the dedication to quality and suitability to purpose Suhr has focused on.
