The Suhr Mateus Asato Signature Series Classic Antique is not just an electric guitar; it's a tribute to one of the most innovative guitarists of our time, Mateus Asato. Crafted for those who demand both sophistication and performance, this guitar features a contoured alder body, promising both comfort and visual appeal with its aged lacquer finish and 3-ply pickguard.

The roasted maple neck, sculpted into an Even C Medium shape, ensures that your playing experience is as smooth as it is fast, while the Indian rosewood fingerboard with 20 heavy stainless steel frets offers a perfect platform for intricate fingerwork. The guitar's tonal versatility is powered by a trio of Suhr pickups in an HSS configuration. The Asatobucker bridge pickup delivers a warm, yet articulate sound, seamlessly blending with the V63+ pickups in the middle and neck positions for a dynamic range of single-coil tones.

What truly sets this guitar apart is its silent single-coil system (SSCII), which guarantees a hum-free experience even at high gains. Whether you're engaging its expressive 2-post tremolo or relying on the steadfast Suhr locking tuners, the Mateus Asato Signature Series Classic Antique is designed to keep up with your every musical ambition.
