The new Tao Guitars Sutorato model in Ice Blue Metallic with an incredible feeling silk-like matte body finish and traditional satin neck finish.

The body is made from Alder while the neck is built from 1/4” sawn European Rock Maple with beautiful flame figure and a dark Rosewood fingerboard. The Sutorato is very well balanced seated or standing with its offset and contoured body. This guitar is also extremely lively and acoustically resonant even before plugging in.

The electronics in the Sutorato are unique to this model and bring a new level of versatility to the world of electric guitars. With so much of the same out there, this design is a true breath of fresh air.

The bridge and middle pickups have a dedicated push-push button that puts them in series with each other for a fat hum-bucking tone. While in normal / ‘parallel’ operation, there is a mini mix potentiometer for the same two pickups with a notch in the middle so that you can tell when both pickups are fully on. When fully clockwise you get just the bridge single coil while fully counter clockwise is just the middle pickup. All in-between Strat type tones and more are available when incorporating this mini-pot with the main 3-way toggle switch.

The Trancestor is a medium output single coil which has both Strat and Gold Foil DNA, while leaning more towards the “Fullerton” side of the spectrum. They sound open and clear with a crystalline response (think Strat or Jazzmaster tones with a bit more air / openness) The pickups have metal sides like a Fender Jaguar for reduced noise in single pickup operation as well as a way to change the pickups magnetic field for a more focused tone with plenty of bite when you dig in.

The Sutorato has a 25 1/2” scale, 1 & 11/16” hand cut bone nut and a Mastery bridge / vibrato setup. New Tao-Wound pickups and unique switching capabilities give you every pickup combination possible and all in an intuitive, easy to access layout. Strung with 10-46 gauge strings and professionally setup by Tao Guitars.
