The latest iteration of the T.E. Personal Guitar, improved bracing, updated building techniques, and sounding better than ever
The shallow body jumbo is a uniquely playable, larger body guitar.
All the volume and resonance you would expect from a jumbo, but with a shallower body depth and reduced silhouette making it much easier to handle on stage or in the studio.
The T.E. Personal Jumbo from Maton’s Master Built series is crafted with a select AAA-grade spruce top and beautifully matched Indian rosewood back and sides, producing a full-bodied, articulate voice with plenty of warmth and detail. Its mahogany neck features a comfortable profile enhanced by a natural satin finish, while the Indian rosewood fingerboard and bridge add both depth of tone and visual elegance.
The Natural Gloss Troubadour Burst finish highlight the instrument’s finely tuned craftsmanship. Designed for players who appreciate tone wood character and resonance above all else, this Master Built Jumbo blends power, nuance and plenty of timeless Maton style.
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.
