Description
he Suhr Asatobucker Bridge Pickup is the signature creation of Mateus Asato, one of the most melodic and expressive guitarists of our time. Developed in collaboration with John Suhr, this pickup captures Mateus’s signature touch and tone with a vintage-inspired voice, remarkable warmth, and outstanding dynamic response.
At the heart of the Asatobucker is an Alnico IV magnet, chosen for its softer, sweeter attack and refined harmonic character. The result is a humbucker that blends vintage clarity with modern playability, making it ideal for expressive lead work, soulful chord voicings, and dynamic phrasing. With a moderate output winding, it retains articulation while adding just the right amount of warmth and sustain.
