Suhr Mateus Asato Signature Classic S HSS Guitar, Distressed Shell Pink

We’re stoked to bring you this Suhr Mateus Asato Signature Classic S Antique!

The gorgeous Shell Pink finish is distressed just enough to make the guitar feel gently worn in, and the satin-finished roasted maple feels almost like bare wood as your hands glide up and down the neck. The Suhr Medium C profile neck with a compound radius will feel extremely familiar to fans of both modern and vintage S-type guitars alike.

Sonically, the guitar’s stellar pickup configuration is intended to have the capability to get aggressive when you dig in while still having the versatility to clean up nicely like a more vintage S-style guitar. The pickups are relatively modern-sounding and have moderately higher output than an average single-coil and PAF-type humbucker, but are still incredibly touch-sensitive and responsive to picking dynamics like a vintage guitar should be. Suhr really nailed it with these. As much as the guitar can nail the amount of drive necessary for Mateus’ soaring leads and heavier riffage, they easily get some beautiful bluesy, lightly overdriven tones and shimmering clean sounds as well.

As a prolific touring guitarist, Mateus needs to be able to cover a wide range of sonic options without having to stop in between every song to change to a different guitar. This guitar will do that. There’s really nothing you could throw at this guitar that it wouldn’t be able to handle.

For a guitar that’ll feel and sound as good in your hands as it will look when it’s hanging on a stand, Suhr is pretty much always the way to go – especially spec’d out to the preferences of a discerning player like Mateus.

ITEM SPECIFICS

Building upon the Classic Antique platform, the Mateus Asato Signature features versatile HSS pickup switching along with two V63+ single-coil pickups (formerly the ML Standard) and Mateus’ signature Asatobucker humbucker pickup, which is essentially a slightly punchier Thornbucker with a touch more bottom-end. The V63+ single-coil pickups offer a balance of tight lows, focused midrange and smooth top-end sparkle. They incorporate a modified staggered pole piece design to provide an even magnetic field needed to accommodate instruments with flatter neck radiuses and today’s string gauges. The guitar also includes a satin-finished roasted maple neck, heavy stainless steel frets, and a custom engraved neck plate.
