Description

Though it is a lot smaller than a standard dreadnought, this guitar packs a punch well above its weight.

This model features a Solid Redwood top, Tasmanian Myrtle back and sides, with the AP5 PRO pickup system, chrome Grover machine heads, and Natural satin finish.

With the introduction of the Redwood Series, Maton has found a new voice in the world of acoustic guitars.
There is something magical in the tone produced by the combination of the Redwood (Sequoia Sempervirens) soundboard and Tasmanian Myrtle (Nothofagus Cunninghamii) back and sides. The Redwood is plantation grown and sustainably harvested from the Otway Ranges in Victoria, the Myrtle from our longstanding supplier in Tasmania, who also provides us with the timber to build the Joe Robinson Signature model.
Tonally, Redwood can be compared to Western Red Cedar, but there is a stronger treble presence and dynamic response than typically found in Cedar. Tasmanian Myrtle (or Tassie Myrtle as we Aussies call it) has a smooth, Maple like tone, and when combined with Redwood seems to add a little extra warmth and sustain to the overall tone of the instrument.
The result is intriguing. The tone coming from these guitars is complex. All the frequencies we expect are present, but there is something more going on as well. The blend of overtones and the dynamic response to slight variations in playing technique, offer new possibilities to the player. This is a guitar that is hard to put down.

“What started as a travel guitar has become a staple for me on stage. No other acoustic has the focus and projection of my Mini Maton, and having less bulk is liberating too!”

All controls are now at your fingertips – their “resistance curves” have been designed and manufactured expressly for the AP5 PRO.

As a result, the bass, treble, and mid-range are now more “linear” in feel. The FQ (mid sweep) goes down lower and has a wider frequency band (600Hz to 2.4kHz ) to give greater control when targeting your specific sound.

Tighter components

Miniature surface mount components allow the preamp to be placed on one PCB, making the complete system smaller and less prone to hum and noise pickup.

The rigidity of this smaller PCB means it’s less prone to develop problems with ageing. Because it’s bolted into position in the casing, the whole assembly is less likely to develop rattles with the constant movement and shipping expected of a performing musician’s instrument.

 

At a glance

The AP5 has been held in the highest regard for over a decade by players all over the world. It was with this in mind that we began development of its successor.

Better sound quality

Clarity and fidelity of studio-quality sound in a live setting with Maton’s AP5 Pro pickup system.

Linear feel to the controls

Effortlessly adjust volume, tone, and EQ settings, empowering you to fine-tune your acoustic sound.

Expanded mid-sweep range

Covering from 600Hz to 2400Hz ensuring your guitar’s mid-range shines through with clarity.

New microphone system

Our updated mic system boasts unmatched definition in tonality and simplifies usability.

Battery upgrade

Battery choice is 2 x AA batteries, why? Energy density. Two AA batteries have almost twice the stored energy of a 9-volt for approximately the same space requirement, therefore giving the performer a much longer operational life before battery change.

The AP5 PRO also has improved battery terminals – both terminals are identical and now made from phosphor bronze – the same material used in ship propellers. It’s extremely corrosion resistant so should the batteries develop a leak the terminals can be easily cleaned to restore them to “as new” operation.
