Looking for a high-spec performance guitar designed for the stage? Look no further than the Maton Performer, the perfect companion for gigging musicians. Its thinner body format is the same overall size as the 808 series guitars, but with less depth, so you can stay closer to the microphone and nearer the action without having a large guitar to lean over. The result is an incredibly comfortable guitar that you can hold and play for hours on end.
The Maton Performer features a solid Bunya top, a change from conventional spruce that has an earthy, evocative tone, volume, and beauty to stand up in its own right. Combine that with the clarity and evenness of response of the solid Queensland Maple back and sides, and you have a high-spec performance guitar designed for the stage. The satin finish on the back, sides, and top has a base coat of polyester that is UV-cured and sanded level, so the timber is protected without restricting the natural tonal resonance of the instrument.
With an onboard AP5-PRO pickup system and on-board tonal controls, you can deliver all the great plugged-in tone that Maton guitars are famous for, while further tonal refinement is possible. When it comes to buying your Maton guitar, trust the #1 dealer for Maton guitars worldwide - Acoustic Centre, your trusted local guitar shop and online guitar store.

Materials used can look different from guitar to guitar, including timber grain and colour, parts colours and finishing. If an instrument is a one-of-a-kind or preowned guitar, the picture will always be of the actual guitar in stock, but production models may have slight variations to the picture shown.
If you're after a particular look, feel free to email us at info@acousticcentre.com.au or send us a message through our chat service to request photos of the actual guitar in stock. We are more than happy to send through pictures of all in-stock guitars, to make your choice easier.

The item arrived within 2 days of purchase and was just as advertised. It plays great just as you'd expect a Maton to, with a hardcase. If any constructive feedback, it's just that the case is a bit too tight and the pickup knobs catches on the lining when it goes in the case.
Beautiful instrument, no problems with delivery or condition of my new instrument Only problem I have encountered is when the guitar is removed or put back in the supplied case,the pickup controls get caught on the cloth lining of case. Other than that I cant fault the service or guitar
Im in love with this guitar by far the best sounding & everything. The strings are epic , the most loveliest sound on the planet . Not a single regret , so happy . Thankyou
A very competitive price offered by Acoustic Centre. Placed an Online order on the 22 Dec 2021 for Maton Performer. Received the delivery on the 24 Dec 2021 by a reputable TNT courier service. An Amazing prompt delivery. Would definitely recommend Acoustic Centre. As for Maton Performer, a small body guitar with bold sound. Love the feel and acoustic sound.
It is divine. The sound is magnificent. It's smaller than my other Maton which makes it very easy to hold and play. I love it..
Amazing guitar. Would absolutely recommend to anyone who wants something small frame that sounds unreal!

Purchased this guitar as my first proper acoustic guitar . Was astounded and the unique tone it produced . Very happy with the purchase . Highly recommended for those who have learning guitar for sometime now and wanting a better instrument to further their skills at a reasonable price .
I bought this guitar at the start of 2015. Being a remote teacher in Central Australia the smaller body but big sound helps me in the class room where I use it to teach disadvantaged Indigenous kids. The way I value the guitar shows the students the importance of having possessions of use to aid in learning. I have recorded it and the pick up is amazing. I also have an ECW80 and the Performer's pick ups sound just as good despite having the smaller body.
Just got the Maton Performer and plugged it into my Bose Compact L1 (also from Acoustic Centre). Wonderful sound,clarity and set-up .Extremely happy with the tone and variety I can get from the EQ settings. Richard Burton

I have nothing bad to say about this beast of a guitar! I have owned this for a few years now and it is so versatile and the sound that it produces is just incredible, i dare say i will own this guitar for many years to come!
I've been using this for gig for a year now and it's been perfect, great sounding low and can a few sweet spots that sound like kick drum when tapped, perfect for looping.
Gorgeous tone which keeps on maturing, and so comfortable to play, both for its smooth, fast neck and smaller, thinner body (this coming from a petite female guitarist!). Sounds wonderful both acoustically and plugged into an amp, and is suited to a wide range of musical styles. Money very well spent, highly recommended, and wonderful service from the guys at the Acoustic Centre!
Excellent - love this guitar. Acousticcentre very helpful - guitar arrived well packaged and on time as promised. Happy customer all round
