Maton has always made a great dreadnought guitar, but with this model, they aimed to go one step further, creating a guitar that could “take on all comers” in the great tradition of this iconic body shape. Of course, being Maton, they couldn't settle for merely copying the classic dreadnoughts of the 1930s. Instead, they chose Australian Red Cedar (Toona ciliata) for the back and sides to achieve the magic presence and punch of the great dreadnought guitars.
For the soundboard and bracing, Adirondack Spruce was selected, delivering a bright, fast attack and representing the same wood used on many legendary dreadnoughts. The mahogany neck complements the Australian Red Cedar body perfectly, while the simple Ebony fretboard and bridge finish off the guitar beautifully, harmonizing with the Ebony binding on the body.
The Master Built Dreadnought is equipped with a Maton AP5 PRO pickup system and nickel Ratio open-back tuners, ensuring top-tier performance and reliability.
