{"product_id":"866536","title":"MATON USED Maton Performer","description":"A high-quality used Performer guitar, popular for its slim body, has arrived!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e There are some minor dents and scratches from playing, and slight paint wear on the back of the neck and where the elbow rests.\u003cbr\u003e The frets show almost no wear, and the string height remains at a standard to slightly low level.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e It's clear that it has been played with great care.\u003cbr\u003e Used Maton guitars sell out incredibly fast, so please consider purchasing one soon!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --------------------------------------------\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Maton is a brand famous for being the long-time favorite of Tommy Emmanuel, considered one of the world's top acoustic guitar players.\u003cbr\u003e This instrument, \"PERFORMER,\" is a popular series from Maton that features a thinner body than the highly popular 808 series.\u003cbr\u003e This model is in the more affordable price range within the same brand, making it an extremely cost-effective option.\u003cbr\u003e As is typical of Australian-made guitars, the wood materials consist of a bunya wood top, Queensland maple sides and back, a Queensland maple neck, and an ebony fingerboard and bridge.\u003cbr\u003e True to Maton's style, it delivers a slightly dry, uncolored, natural sound that's suitable for a wide range of genres. The slim body makes it exceptionally easy to handle on stage, and its responsiveness is outstanding.\u003cbr\u003e The excellent playability achieved through the exquisite neck grip and tension has been described as \"feeling as if it's glued to your hand,\" and will undoubtedly be a significant advantage on stage!\u003cbr\u003e While the design is simple and the price range is affordable, this model retains the distinctive Maton characteristics, such as its high playability and high-quality pickup system.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The pickup system installed is Maton's original \"AP5 Pro\" dual system, which allows you to blend an under-saddle piezo and a condenser microphone!\u003cbr\u003e The under-saddle piezo pickup employs a \"parasitic type\" piezo pickup, which has an independent pole piece for each string. Because it directly captures the vibration of each string, it can produce a clear, natural, and powerful output even with only the piezo pickup.\u003cbr\u003e By blending this high-performance piezo pickup with a condenser microphone, we've achieved a superb line sound that retains the raw, natural feel of an acoustic guitar, balancing power and airiness. The condenser microphone is adjustable via a gooseneck, allowing for fine-tuning to achieve your desired sound and avoid feedback issues, which is a very welcome feature. Furthermore, to combat the feedback issues inherent in condenser microphones, a low-frequency filter has been applied, making it less prone to feedback even in loud band settings, ensuring comfortable use.\u003cbr\u003e The preamp section allows you to control the volume of both the piezo and microphone pickups, as well as the overall volume with a master volume control and a 3-band EQ. This unique, high-performance system has earned immense trust and praise from many artists, whether solo or in a band.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Playability, line sound, and natural resonance... There are very few brands that produce high-quality guitars that have all three of these qualities in perfect harmony!\u003cbr\u003e From practicing at home to performing on stage... it will become your reliable partner.\u003cbr\u003e Please take this opportunity to purchase it!!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-SPEC-\u003cbr\u003e Top: Solid Bunya Pine\u003cbr\u003e Side \u0026amp; Back: Solid Queensland Maple\u003cbr\u003e Neck: Solid Queensland Maple\u003cbr\u003e FingerBoard: Streaky Ebony w\/6mm Pearl dots\u003cbr\u003e Bridge: Streaky Ebony\u003cbr\u003e Neck Width at Nut: 44.1mm\u003cbr\u003e Scale Length: 647.7mm (25.5 inches)\u003cbr\u003e Tuning Machine: Chrome Grover Rotomatic\u003cbr\u003e Pickup: AP5-Pro\u003cbr\u003e Finish: Satin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Includes original hard case","brand":"MATON","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44421624758385,"sku":"866536","price":1556.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0638\/4173\/0673\/files\/866536_01.jpg?v=1788331474","url":"https:\/\/global.ikebe-gakki.com\/products\/866536","provider":"Ikebe Musical Instruments Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
