Maton Master Built Classic 'European Spruce / Indian Rosewood' Acoustic Electric Guitar

The Maton Master Built Classic is a refined, handcrafted acoustic that embodies the highest level of artistry from Maton's elite luthier team. Spearheaded by Head of R&D Patrick Evans, the Master Built series combines traditional craftsmanship with acoustic science to produce individually voiced instruments of the highest calibre. This guitar is a continuation of the legacy left by Custom Shop pioneer Andy Allen, offering an heirloom-quality build that’s as visually striking as it is tonally rich.

Built with a solid European spruce top and Indian rosewood back and sides, the Classic delivers a full, articulate tone with deep bass, clear highs, and exceptional dynamic range. Its traditional thin body is paired with scalloped Maton X bracing for optimal response and projection. Elegant herringbone detailing and a tight rosette complete the visual package, while the Ebony fingerboard and bridge ensure smooth playability. The AP5 PRO pickup system makes this stage-ready, and a deluxe Hiscox flight case ensures safe transport.
