Here for sale we have a Peerless Martin Taylor 'Maestro' Archtop Electro Acoustic Guitar in Natural Gloss and Antique Sunburst finish. Made in Korea, this Archtop guitar consists of a Carved Solid Spruce top, Carved Solid Maple back and sides, a Maple neck, and a 20-fret Ebony fingerboard. Other appointments include Grover GH102 Gold tuners with Ebony Buttons, an Ebony Cello Style tailpiece, and a Kent Armstrong floating humbucking pickup that is wired to a pickguard-mounted volume control.
The 'D' profile Maple neck sits comfortably in the hand, the slim profile allows for fast and easy navigation without feeling too thin. This promotes ergonomic thumb positioning and easy reach across the register, perfect for a wide range of playing styles and techniques. The Gloss finish to the rear of the neck assists with smooth navigation of the 24.6" scale length, whilst the Ebony fingerboard adds a touch of luxury to the already opulent playing experience. The smaller hollow-body shape and smooth lines make for an extremely easy playing experience, providing comfort in both standing and seated positions.
The acoustic voice of the Martin Taylor 'Maestro' is both soft and articulate, perfectly capturing the 'Jazz Box' tone that you would expect from this instrument. Chords sound distinctive and clear, whilst melodic lines are smooth. The Kent Armstrong floating jazz humbucking pickup delivers a smooth tone which is equally at home as a solo instrument or blending into an ensemble mix. An interesting and unique instrument with a genuine vintage jazz vibe.
