The Maton Master Built Classic is a refined, handcrafted acoustic that embodies the highest level of artistry from Maton's elite luthier team, led 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, continuing the legacy left by Custom Shop pioneer Andy Allen with 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 pairs with scalloped Maton X bracing for optimal response and projection, while elegant herringbone detailing and a tight rosette complete the visual package. The AP5 Pro pickup system makes this guitar genuinely stage-ready, ideal for players who want individually voiced Master Built tone backed by dependable amplified performance.
