Maton Guitars Pre-Owned EA-80C Australian Dreadnought - 16917
This is a great opportunity to add a deluxe Maton dreadnought to your collection at an excellent value!
We have completed a string change, setup, and thorough inspection - this pre-owned Maton is a workhorse performer, ready for the stage. The AP5-Pro electronics has passed testing, offering the best natural reproduction for a live, plugged in sound (believe everything you've heard).
Setup with fresh Elixir Phosphor Bronze strings (lights 12-53), the action is set to Maton factory specifications, action is 3/32" on the bass side at the 12th fret and plays super easily. There is no fret wear- no dings or scratches - no pick marks - excellent "as new" condition.
The Maton EA-80C is part of Maton's homage Australian series! This series of guitars are made exclusively of Australian timbers! A Bunya Pine soundboard accompanied Australian Blackwood back & sides give out a powerful tone with a punchy mid-range and sweet high end!
The fretboard and bridge are Desert Acacia wood, and the comfortable "C" shape neck is solid Blackwood! Top it off with wood bindings and a simple finish, and you get a guitar that is refreshingly natural. It is hard to imagine guitars with more stunning appointments and features in the Maton lineup!
Constructed in a Maton's slope shoulder Dreadnought size, the EA80C Australian is a powerhouse in voice as well as beauty. With Bunya Pine along the top and braces, each strum produces a rich, well-balanced sound ideal for bright, softer and harder playing styles. Bunya Pine carries a higher mid output than Sitka. The fretboard and bridge feature desert Acacia wood, helping create a more complex voice.
The Maton AP5-Pro Electronics
In its 5th generation, the AP5 Pro features an internal Microphone and 6-Piezo bridge input, with controls that allow for blending of both microphone and piezo levels prior to sending the actively combined signals through the well engineered pre-amp.
The highly selective cardioid microphone system allows for much greater microphone level before feedback in live environments. The upgraded AP5-Pro microphone is direct mounted to the pre-amp casing with an adjustable swing arm, which permits easy final tweaking of microphone position to suit the individual artist's playing style.
Controls are at your fingertips, and their 'resistance curves' have been specially designed and manufactured expressly for the AP5-Pro. As a result, the Bass, Treble and MID are now much more 'linear' in feel. The FQ (Mid Sweep) now goes down much lower and has a much wider frequency band ( 600Hz to 2.4kHz ) to give greater control when targeting your specific sound.
Note, current specs for this model have a satin finish back, sides, & neck. This earlier version has a full body high gloss finish.
