Limited Run - Custom "Ghost Black" Satin Finish

This gently used 2023 Maton Performer is in pristine condition! It is on consignment sale with us from a long time customer, who is adding a new replacement Maton to his collection.

The only indication it has ever been played is some very light shiny finish on back of the neck (satin nitro tends to shine-up after being played over time). Setup conforms to Maton factory standard, so it plays and sounds awesome!

Otherwise, the factory original Grover tuners have been upgraded to an open-back vintage style tuner from Golden Age, with amber buttons that uniquely match the Maton headstock logo and body bindings. There are light impressions around the tuner posts where the collars for the original tuners had been. 

The proprietary Maton "808" body shape is similar, though slightly smaller that the US OM Model. However, the standard body depth of the 808 is substantially deeper at 4-7/8". This is significant, as moving the top and back further apart enhances the bass element within the tonal character of the voicing (bracing technique), complimenting the different wood combination.

The Maton Performer body depth is slightly more narrow, measuring 4-3/8" at the end block, still deeper than most American OM orchestra models. The "Slimline" body depth (repeated as a "Thinline" body depth in the TE Personal Thinline, CS Classic and other Custom Shop models) offers more punch with an enhanced mid-range character.

In its 5th generation, the AP5 Pro features an internal Microphone and 6-Piezo bridge input, with controls that allow for blending of both microphone and piezo levels prior to sending the actively combined signals through the well engineered pre-amp.

The highly selective cardioid microphone system allows for much greater microphone level before feedback in live environments. This upgraded AP5-Pro microphone is direct mounted to the pre-amp casing with an adjustable arm, which permits easy final tweaking of microphone position to suit the individual artist's playing style.

Using the ‘Sweep-able Mid’ controls. Mid-range is sweep-able from 600Hz to 2400kHz and can be cut or boosted within this range. As a general rule we start out with all settings ‘flat’ then alter them to achieve the desired tone & presence based on the venue or recording environment. For example, an open, natural sound can be achieved by setting the frequency control at 1.4khz and the boost/cut control at 5db. Alternatively, for a ‘thick’ lead sound boost your Mid's by 5db and set the frequency dial at 1.7kh.
