Maton Guitars Pre-Owned Custom Shop 808C - 16932

Most of us have heard the term "closet queen", to describe a guitar that has been stashed away from the time it was new! This Maton Custom Shop build defines the term perfectly. No play wear, no small imperfections, as if caught in a time warp.

It features Andy Allen's name, signed in blue pen, inside the master grade European Spruce top "Andy Allen" with his infamous hand drawn "Ace of spades" and the date "12/18/22" on the bridge plate.

This Custom Shop 808 Cutaway was originally commissioned by Artisan Guitars with many custom features. The Fiddleback Blackwood back & sides is holographic and the Paua Shell appointments are lovely.

Of course, this Maton Custom Shop includes their unsurpassed AP5-Pro electronics and Hiscox flight case.
