The Thornbucker is the result of this collaboration between Suhr and Pete Thorn. Available in bridge and neck versions, the pickup can sound both clear, like a single-coil model, and slightly dirty, like traditional humbuckers do.

The Thornbucker neck version uses an Alnico V magnet and has a DC Resistance of 7.3 kOhms. The bridge model hosts an Alnico IV magnet and its DC Resistance is 8.4 kOhms. Both model use 4-conductor wiring and plain enamel coils.

The Thornbucker is available in Black, White, Parchment, Zebra and Reversed Zebra finishes. You can purchase it for $150 with a Nickel/Silver cover or $130 without any cover. More info at www.suhr.com.
