{"product_id":"maton-troubadour-dreadnought-satin-black-with-white-guard","title":"Maton Troubadour Dreadnought Custom ‘Tuxedo’ Acoustic Electric Guitar","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe Maton Troubadour Dreadnought is Acoustic Centre’s own label that distils everything Maton does best into a series designed specifically for the working musician, a powerful, stage-ready acoustic-electric built entirely in Maton’s Box Hill workshop from the same tonewoods and electronics that have defined Australian acoustic guitar making for more than seven decades. This Custom example takes the standard Troubadour Dreadnought specification and brings it to life in a full body satin black finish with white binding and white pickguard: a stark, elegant visual combination that gives this instrument an immediately distinctive character entirely its own, while the satin nitrocellulose lacquer finish ensures that both tone and feel remain as natural and uninhibited as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe solid Sitka spruce top with scalloped Maton X-bracing provides the clear, projecting, and dynamically versatile tonal foundation that makes the dreadnought body format so enduring for singer-songwriters and live performers, responsive to both light fingerpicking and full strumming with equal tonal authority and natural presence. Solid Queensland Maple back and sides deliver the bright, clear, and well-defined tonal character that Maton has championed as Australia’s most distinctive acoustic tonewood since the 1960s: articulate, balanced, and naturally projecting with a string separation and clarity that rosewood and mahogany-bodied guitars cannot replicate. Maton’s AP5 Pro pickup system, widely regarded as the finest acoustic-electric pickup system available in a production guitar, combines an internal microphone and six-piezo bridge input with independent blend controls and a sweepable mid-EQ preamp to deliver the most natural, nuanced, and controllable amplified acoustic tone of any pickup at any price point. Streaky ebony fingerboard and bridge, mahogany neck, gold Grover Rotomatic tuners, bone nut and saddle, and Maton hardshell case complete a specification of genuine quality and considered Australian craftsmanship. Ideal for gigging singer-songwriters, studio musicians, and performers who want the definitive Australian acoustic-electric voice in a visually striking custom finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid Sitka spruce top with scalloped Maton X-bracing delivers the clear, projecting, and dynamically versatile tonal foundation that makes the dreadnought body format a perennial choice for live performers and singer-songwriters.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid Queensland Maple back and sides deliver Maton’s signature bright, articulate, and naturally projecting acoustic character, a distinctly Australian tonewood voice with excellent string separation and clarity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaton AP5 Pro pickup system, internal microphone and six-piezo bridge input with independent blend controls and sweepable mid EQ, is widely regarded as the finest acoustic-electric pickup system available in a production guitar, delivering natural, nuanced, and controllable amplified tone.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull body satin black finish with white binding and white pickguard gives this Custom order a stark, elegant visual identity entirely its own, the satin nitrocellulose lacquer preserving natural resonance while the white appointments create a dramatic and distinctive aesthetic.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStreaky ebony fingerboard and bridge, mahogany neck, gold Grover Rotomatic tuners, bone nut and saddle, and pearl dot fingerboard inlays reflect the Troubadour’s refined and consistently quality appointment standard throughout.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: Maton Troubadour Dreadnought Custom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody: Dreadnought\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop: Solid Sitka spruce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack \u0026amp; sides: Solid Queensland Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBracing: Scalloped Maton X\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck: Mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard: Streaky ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard inlays: 6mm pearl dots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge: Streaky ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut: Bone, 44.1mm (1-47\/64\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSaddle: Bone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale length: 648mm (25.5\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrets: 21\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBinding: White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickguard: White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuners: Gold Grover Rotomatic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectronics: Maton AP5 Pro (internal microphone + 6-piezo bridge input, sweepable mid EQ)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Satin black (full body)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrings: Elixir Nanoweb Phosphor Bronze\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoundhole diameter: 100mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes: Maton hardshell case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in: Australia (Box Hill, Victoria)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Maton","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68230195970269,"sku":"TROUBADOUR-DN-SB-WG","price":3199.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0367\/8045\/files\/0H3A9856.jpg?v=1792728216","url":"https:\/\/www.acousticcentre.com.au\/products\/maton-troubadour-dreadnought-satin-black-with-white-guard","provider":"Acoustic Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
