Player's Perspective

As premier Suhr dealers, we're proud to present this Suhr Mateus Asato Signature Classic T in its distinctive "piano" gloss black finish with gold hardware and a stunning 3A Roasted Birdseye Maple neck!

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-style guitars alike.

Sonically, the Mateus Asato Classic T (M.A.T.) pickups in this axe are Mateus and Suhr's idealized take on a good vintage T-style pickup set, but with some tweaks in the EQ to make it more viable through modern rigs. Warm, clear, nasty when you dig in, and never ice-picky or harsh. They're incredibly touch-sensitive and responsive to picking dynamics like a vintage guitar should be. Suhr really nailed it with these. The especially-amazing bridge pickup has equal amounts of twang and sweetness!

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.

Manufacturer's Description

Mateus Asato has grown up before our very eyes to become one of the predominant guitar voices of this generation. His musicality, his tone, and his limitless technique coalesce into one of the most versatile and well-rounded musicians we have heard play the instrument. Now, Mateus and Suhr have put their heads together to create his next signature guitar, the Suhr Mateus Asato Signature Classic T.

The Mateus Asato Signature Classic T is an incredible combination of a top-bound Swamp Ash body and a beautiful ‘3A’ Roasted Birdseye neck, finished in a strikingly clean, piano black.

Mateus and John Suhr put their heads together to create two new custom pickups for this new guitar. John Suhr painstakingly hand-wound a number of different neck and bridge pickups to find the perfect combination that Mateus was looking for. Perfectly finished stainless steel frets, a stunning painted bakelite pickguard, our silent single coil system (SSCII) and our unmatched craftsmanship, all make this instrument a Suhr, however, all of the hours and work put in by Mateus and John has culminated in something truly special, the Suhr Mateus Asato Signature Classic T. Experience one, today.
