Suhr left NYC to work with Bob Bradshaw
With an obsession for tube amp design, John left NYC to work with Robert Bradshaw in 91′ and designed the CAA 3+ and 3+SE tube preamps and CAA OD100 amp with Robert Bradshaw.
Four years later John felt his original calling and accepted a job as Senior Master Builder at the Fender Custom Shop. There he built custom guitars to order and was involved in R&D for new product development. His clients included and still include Michael Landau, Scott Henderson, Doug Aldrich and Peter Frampton.
Making his true dream a reality in 1997
John Suhr opened up his own small factory building custom guitars to order in 1997. John finally had total control over the entire process of building the ideal electric guitars and basses with the highest standards of quality possible and unflinching attention to detail.
