A Decade of Innovation: The Suhr Andy Wood Signature Modern T
The Suhr 10th Anniversary Andy Wood Signature HH Modern T represents 10 years of evolution, refinement, and performance-driven design between Andy Wood and Suhr.
A celebration of the original black prototype that started it all, this anniversary model pushes the boundaries of modern electric guitar design — blending supercar-inspired aesthetics, elite craftsmanship, and high-speed playability into one precision instrument.
Inspired by the sleek lines and aggressive elegance of Italian supercars, this guitar is not just an instrument, it’s a statement piece built for speed, tone, and performance.
Supercar-Inspired Design Philosophy

This 10th Anniversary Modern T takes inspiration from exotic automotive engineering, translating it into guitar form:
Carbon fiber accents for modern rigidity and visual contrast
Italian supercar color way: Rosso Corsa
Minimalist, performance-focused aesthetic
Black hardware for a stealth, high-performance finish
Andy Wood describes the concept as evolving from a “muscle car” prototype into a fully realized exotic supercar guitar, combining luxury design cues with raw musical power.
“The inspiration behind the anniversary guitar is really simple… I’m crazy about cars… I envisioned it as a ‘muscle car’… and now it’s evolved into exotic Italian supercar inspiration.”
— Andy Wood
