Essential Information on the Limited Edition Suona Telecaster Thinline Guitar, Ebony Fingerboard, "Violin Burst"
- Semi-hollow ash body with a spruce top from the Alps for lively resonance, natural projection, and the typical warmth of Thinlines.
- Suona single-coil pickups (bridge) + Custom Shop Twisted Tele (neck) offering an ideal balance between modern bite and vintage clarity.
- Torrified flamed maple neck with a "Modern C" profile, ebony fingerboard with a compound radius of 7.25"?9.5" (184?241 mm): remarkable comfort, precision, and sustain.
- Vintage Tele 3 brass compensated saddles bridge for authentic Tele attack with optimized intonation, all under a "Violin Burst" nitro finish with matching headstock.
A Thinline that perpetuates the heritage while reinventing it
Born in the late 1960s to lighten the Telecaster, the Thinline shape retained the iconic twang while adding airiness and roundness. The limited edition "Suona" carries this DNA and grafts an Italian Alpine spruce top, meticulous luthiery, and a high-end aesthetic to deliver a contemporary interpretation of a timeless classic.
For which guitarist and styles?
Designed for
intermediate to expert musicians, this Telecaster Thinline excels in
pop, rock, country, funk, soul, and
blues, while being very comfortable in the studio thanks to its dynamics and definition. Ambitious beginners will find an inspiring, lightweight, and responsive guitar that will evolve with their playing.
Sound
The semi-hollow ash construction combined with the spruce top provides a
very lively response: clear attack, singing mids, and firm lows, with natural airiness that enhances dynamics and tactile sensation. The
Suona bridge pickup delivers a slightly higher output level, rich harmonics, and a sharp Tele grain without harshness. The
Twisted Tele neck pickup offers bright clarity and vintage silkiness perfect for arpeggios, funky cleans, or bluesy leads. The combination of
string-through-body + brass compensated saddles enhances sustain and intonation, while the
nitro finish literally lets the instrument "breathe." Simple controls (Volume/Tone and 3-position selector) allow instant switching from a snappy twang to rounder, more open textures.
Recommended compatible accessories
To preserve the feel and tonal balance, opt for a
nickel-plated steel string set 009?042 (Fender 250L type) and a
hard case or Telecaster-shaped gig bag perfectly fitted to the Thinline silhouette. An
adjustable electric capo covering a fingerboard radius from 7.25" to 9.5" will ensure even pressure without buzzing.
