Suhr Ian Thornley Signature Classic JM - Vintage Yellow with Hard Shell Case

The Suhr Ian Thornley Signature Classic JM – A Modern Rock Powerhouse

Custom Design Built for a Rock Legend

Designed in collaboration with Ian Thornley, the frontman and guitarist of Big Wreck and Thornley, the Suhr Ian Thornley Signature Classic JM delivers the power and versatility he demands. After years of playing Suhr Classics, Standards, and Ts, Ian found his perfect match in the Classic JM prototype. This signature model blends vintage-inspired aesthetics with modern playability, offering a custom Ian Thornley "V" neck profile, a roasted alder body, and a stunning gloss vintage yellow finish.

Unmatched Playability with the Thornley "V" Neck

The neck of the Classic JM is crafted for comfort and performance, featuring a custom Ian Thornley “V” profile that measures .875"-.970". Roasted maple construction ensures stability and resonance, while the satin finish provides a smooth, fast-playing feel. A 16" radius Indian rosewood fingerboard with jumbo stainless steel frets makes for effortless bends and precision fretting, perfect for expressive solos and aggressive riffing.

Powerful and Versatile HSH Pickup Configuration

Equipped with Suhr SSH+ and SSV humbuckers alongside a V70 middle single-coil, this guitar delivers a tonal range that covers everything from searing leads to glassy cleans. The Alnico 5 "Special" magnets ensure dynamic response, while two low-profile slider switches allow independent series/parallel switching for each humbucker. Whether you're after thick, punchy tones or articulate single-coil clarity, the Classic JM offers ultimate flexibility.

Reliable Hardware for Maximum Stability

Suhr locking tuners provide rock-solid tuning stability with an 18:1 gear ratio for precise adjustments and quick string changes. The 2-post tremolo bridge with a steel block ensures smooth action and exceptional sustain, while the chrome hardware complements the guitar’s sleek vintage yellow finish. Built to withstand the rigors of the stage and studio, this guitar is as durable as it is stylish.

Premium Construction and Attention to Detail

From its laser-engraved Ian Thornley signature headstock to its carefully selected tonewoods, the Classic JM is a testament to Suhr’s commitment to craftsmanship. The roasted alder body enhances resonance and sustain while maintaining a lightweight feel. Paired with a hardshell black case, this guitar is ready to hit the road or take center stage.
