SEMI-HOLLOW ASH BODY WITH BOUND ITALIAN ALPINE SPRUCE TOP
Prized for its excellent qualities as a soundboard, spruce’s combination of strength and elasticity translate to strong projection, broad dynamics and snappy articulation. Semi-hollow construction makes for a lightweight instrument with acoustic-like response, lively resonance and a warmth unique to Thinline models.

NITROCELLULOSE LACQUER VIOLIN BURST FINISH WITH MATCHING PAINTED HEADSTOCK
Nitrocellulose lacquer is a premium finish that reveals the instrument’s true tonal character. The rich and distinctive 2-Color Violin Burst showcases the well-defined grain of the Italian Alpine Spruce top. A matching painted headstock provides the perfect complement to the elegant Suona aesthetic.

CUSTOM SHOP '69 AND CUSTOM-DESIGNED SUONA STRAT® PICKUPS
The perfect complement to the warm and lively tones of Suona Stratocaster®, the custom-designed Suona bridge pickup delivers increased output with rich harmonics, remarkable depth, and exceptional articulation while Custom Shop '69 neck and middle pickups offer true vintage character from clear and sparkling chime to raw and throaty growl.

ROASTED FLAME MAPLE MODERN “C” NECK
The stunning roasted flame maple neck delivers serious punch and sustain while the modern “C” profile is slightly slimmed-down and refined for luxurious comfort and limitless playability.

7.25”-9.5” COMPOUND-RADIUS EBONY FINGERBOARD
The 7.25”-9.5" compound-radius subtly flattens in the higher register for vintage comfort with superior playability, while the ebony fingerboard lends a smooth and silky feel.

VINTAGE-STYLE SYNCHRONIZED TREMOLO
One of our most innovative designs, this six-point tremolo offers proper intonation, full adjustability and easy access to cool vibrato sounds. Bent-steel saddles and a cold rolled steel block ensure the purest Fender tone and performance.
