Suhr Mateus Asato Signature Series Classic Antique Shell Pink HSS SSCII

In 2013, Mateus Asato, a name now synonymous with extraordinary guitar playing, received his first Suhr Classic Antique. This marked the beginning of a remarkable journey, as Asato would go on to inspire countless guitar enthusiasts worldwide with his unique style and impeccable technique. His collaborations with artists such as Tori Kelly and Jesse J have further cemented his status as one of the most in-demand guitarists of our time. To honour his artistry, Suhr has introduced the Mateus Asato Classic S Signature guitar, a testament to their collaborative vision and commitment to excellence.

The Mateus Asato Classic Antique features all the vintage elements we love but back it up with super stable and reliable modern-day benefits. The classic Alder Strat body is finished in a Shell Pink thin lacquer and then subject to Suhr's own antiquing process. Subtly and authentically antiqued it features natural checking and light ageing. The ultra-thin nitro will wear naturally to allow each guitar to develop its own roadworn look. Complete with a signature Mateus neck plate, this is one super cool guitar!

The roasted Maple neck features a slick satin finish for a smooth, slick feel. With an Even C Medium shape profile, rolled frets, a 9"-12'' radius, and an Indian Rosewood fingerboard this a substantial but real comfortable guitar.

Benefitting from 2 V63+ single coil pickups it replicates those famous Strat tones, rich, punchy and ready to growl. The V63+ pickups are overwound for increased sustain and a higher output. With a Suhr Asatobucker at the bridge you get even greater tonal variation.  The Classic Antique is versatile and adaptable and boosted by the Suhr SSCII, a completely transparent noise reduction system. Installed inside the body, it reduces 60 cycle hum and has no effect on tone, it just helps keep those crystal clear tones ringing!
