Scott Henderson

"This is the Scott Henderson model and actually the only thing that makes it different from the Classic is that at positions 2 and 4, the tone knobs are bypassed," says Scott Henderson, at 0:30 in this video, talking about his signature Suhr guitar.

Oh, I forgot to tell you, the main thing, the coolest thing is that Bruce Forman -- who is one of my favorite jazz guitar players -- he loaned me his hollow-body for the last tune. And it’s a Sonntag that was made for him by Stefan Sonntag. But, it’s one of the most beautiful hollow-bodies I’ve ever heard. It’s just gorgeous sounding.

So, he was kind enough to loan me that guitar for “Chelsea Bridge.” And that’s just a beautiful sounding guitar, man. I had fun playing that thing. What a gorgeous guitar. I’m very tempted to call that guy in Germany and ask him if I could get some kind of deal, if he could make me one too, because I love the sound of Bruce’s other guitar.

He mainly plays an L5, and I love the sound of a Gibson L5. But, this guitar has a single coil, so it has a different kind of thing. And I’m just really attracted to it. Maybe it’s just because I love single coil pickups on my Strat, and the single coil pickups on that hollow-body give it such a beautiful tone. In fact, that might be my favorite tone on the whole record.

On his website, Scott states that he used a Fender Strat, built by John Suhr, when he recorded the album "Thick" with Tribal tech. Scott also used a 57' reissue Strat with Lindy Frail pickups when he recorded "Dog Party", but switched to Suhr pickups for the album "Tore Down House".
