The Suona Stratocaster® Thinline is an instrument that inspires as much as it captivates. The finesse of its lines and its tone testify to the remarkable work of a legendary craftsman. This masterful adaptation of a traditional Fender model is a rare beauty that produces warm and very lively sounds. Every detail reflects the passion and talent devoted to its manufacture. The instrument features a semi-hollow ash body and a top made of Italian Alpine spruce adorned with binding, producing a sound of exceptional clarity, incredibly dynamic resonance, and the warmth specific to Thinline models. Its roasted flamed maple neck, with a "Modern C" profile, and its ebony fingerboard with a compound radius of 7.25"-9.5" (184 - 241 mm) offer exceptional playing comfort, while its vintage-style bridge with synchronized tremolo provides you with the most authentic Fender sound and performance. Its original Suona pickup, installed in the bridge position, is paired with two Custom Shop '69 pickups to produce a dynamic and expressive tonal palette. Finally, its nitrocellulose Violin Burst finish, also applied to the headstock, adds to the originality of this timeless instrument. Discover this perfect blend of tradition and innovation and let yourself be inspired by the magnificent sounds of the Suona Stratocaster® Thinline.
Highlights
SEMI-HOLLOW ASH BODY AND ITALIAN ALPINE SPRUCE TOP WITH BINDING
Spruce is a prized wood for its excellent acoustic qualities. Combining strength and elasticity, it produces a sharp and precise sound with powerful projection and beautiful dynamics. The semi-hollow construction reduces the instrument's weight while providing a response close to that of an acoustic guitar, with superb resonance and the warmth particular to Thinline models.
NITROCELLULOSE VIOLIN BURST FINISH WITH MATCHING PAINTED HEADSTOCK
The nitrocellulose lacquer is a high-end finish that reveals the true sonic character of the instrument. The beautiful two-tone Violin Burst color lets the original grain of the Italian Alpine spruce top show through. A matching painted headstock perfectly completes the refined aesthetic of this Suona.
CUSTOM SHOP '69 AND ORIGINAL SUONA STRAT® PICKUPS
The original design Suona pickup, installed in the bridge position, perfectly complements the warm and dynamic tone of the Suona Stratocaster®. It produces a higher output level, with beautiful harmonics, remarkable sonic depth, and exceptional clarity. The Custom Shop '69 pickups in the middle and neck positions offer a truly vintage character, from the clarity and brightness of the highs to the growl of the lows.
ROASTED FLAMED MAPLE NECK WITH "MODERN C" PROFILE
This roasted flamed maple neck will leave you speechless. It delivers outstanding punch and sustain, while its "Modern C" profile has been slightly reduced and reworked to offer unprecedented comfort. You can play for hours on end.
EBONY FINGERBOARD WITH COMPOUND RADIUS OF 7.25"-9.5"
The compound fingerboard radius of 7.25"-9.5" (184 - 241 mm) subtly flattens in the treble register to provide playing comfort reminiscent of vintage instruments. Its ebony fingerboard ensures an incredibly smooth feel.
VINTAGE-STYLE BRIDGE WITH SYNCHRONIZED TREMOLO
This six-point tremolo is one of our greatest innovations. It allows perfect intonation, precise instrument setup, and easy execution of the vibrato effects you love. Thanks to its stamped steel saddles and cold-rolled steel block, you can be sure to retain the most authentic Fender sound and performance.
