Suhr - This is the HSS set of pickups Suhr uses in their Mateus Asato Classic S Signature Guitar. (This set has a 50mm bridge pickup for use on a guitar with a "set bridge/ non-tremolo bridge")

ASATOBUCKER Bridge 50mm

Mateus Asato has established himself as one of the most melodic and inspirational guitar players in the world today. His collaboration with John Suhr has resulted in the all-new Asatobucker®, a vintage-inspired bridge humbucker with superb warmth and touch sensitivity. Alnico IV magnets are used to create the soft and sweet attack that is the quintessential Mateus sound.

“When you are playing with different people, you need one guitar to satisfy as much variety as possible. You need the variety. These humbuckers still have the Classic S sound but at the same time have the option of a bigger fatter sound. After playing a set of Pete Thorn’s pickups that I loved, I wanted to take the low-middle area and increase it up a little bit because when you have a hum in the bridge, it could get super bright. Sound wise, it’s what we were looking for. I just love having a humbucker in my signature model.” – MATEUS ASATO

V63+ Middle and Neck PICKUPS

The V63+ started with John’s V63 design and he overwound it, creating a hotter pickup with more output and incredibly rich tone. Previously referred to as the ‘ML’, we’ve updated the name to help players better understand the tonal response and sound. The V63+ pickups offer a balance of tight lows, focused midrange and smooth top-end sparkle. V63+ pickups 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.
