The Suhr Mateus Asato Signature Classic T – MA White is a breathtaking fusion of tone, feel, and refined aesthetics—built to the exacting standards of one of the most expressive and beloved modern guitarists, Mateus Asato. Known for his lyrical phrasing, masterful dynamics, and deep musicality, Mateus demanded an instrument that could keep pace with his artistry, and Suhr delivered in every detail. The result is a guitar that not only looks iconic but also plays with inspiring sensitivity, balance, and power.
This signature model features the timeless Classic T body shape, crafted from alder for its tonal versatility and balanced frequency response. Whether you're chasing sparkling cleans or gritty drive, the alder body delivers a full, focused sound that works beautifully across a wide range of musical styles. The finish—appropriately dubbed MA White—is sleek, elegant, and distinctive, serving as a clean canvas for the guitar’s luxurious accents. A bold matte gold pickguard sets the tone for the rest of the guitar’s elegant hardware appointments, adding a tasteful contrast that radiates boutique class.
At the heart of the playing experience is a meticulously crafted roasted maple neck, paired with a smooth and resonant Indian rosewood fingerboard. This combination offers superb tonal warmth and a broken-in feel right out of the box. The neck profile, a custom Mateus Asato C (.795" - .885"), sits perfectly between vintage chunk and modern comfort, designed to support both delicate melodic phrasing and explosive technical runs. With a 9"-12" compound radius and heavy stainless steel frets (.051" x .108"), the fingerboard offers effortless bending and precise fretting, with a sleek, consistent feel up and down the neck.
The satin finish on the neck ensures a smooth, non-sticky playing surface, while the gloss headstock finish adds a touch of shine and sophistication. A gold laser-etched Suhr logo tops it off with subtle, high-end flair. Every visual element feels intentional and refined—reflective of Mateus’s artistic sensibility.
Electronics are equally expressive. Outfitted with the Mateus Asato Classic T pickups in both the bridge and neck positions, this guitar delivers an incredibly versatile tonal palette. The bridge pickup offers articulate snap and dynamic punch without harshness, while the neck pickup delivers warmth, clarity, and the soulful bloom that Mateus is known for. Suhr’s SSCII system ensures that even in the most gain-heavy or noisy environments, the signal remains dead-quiet—preserving tone without compromise.
Hardware is top-shelf across the board. The Wilkinson 3-saddle Classic T bridge and gold Suhr locking tuners provide impeccable tuning stability and intonation while adding to the guitar’s distinctive aesthetic. Every component is chosen to maximize performance while remaining faithful to Mateus’s tonal vision and tactile preferences.
Weighing in at 7 lbs 15 oz, the guitar feels solid and balanced, offering just the right amount of substance without being burdensome. It ships in a premium hardshell case, ready for the stage, studio, or wherever inspiration strikes.
The Suhr Mateus Asato Signature Classic T – MA White is not just a tribute to a modern guitar hero—it’s a truly world-class instrument that invites you to play with emotion, nuance, and precision. Whether you're channeling Mateus’s signature voice or exploring your own, this guitar is built to elevate your playing to new heights.
