Available in Dreadnought, Mini, Traditional body shapes, and now their Jumbo. The Maton Troubadour adapts to your unique style, offering powerful projection or delicate balance, depending on your preference.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Troubadour Jumbo body style is a classic shaped, with a nod to the 60's. The full sized body offers a dynamic range of frequencies, centered around the fantastic string balanced voicing, which Maton has perfected through the years. This same character comes through their AP5-Pro when plugged in.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVisually, the Troubadour Jumbo has also borrowed its look from other familiar Maton models, which includes herringbone inner binding, white outer binding, a mahogany neck, streaky ebony fingerboard and bridge, and a streaky ebony headstock veneer. The mahogany neck provides tone and stability and the ebony board and bridge add a little top-end brightness to complement the balanced bass of the Queensland Maple back and sides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a wonderful guitar that will suit all styles of playing, from light fingerstyle to full-blown strumming, and of course, it is fitted with Maton's brilliant AP5 Pro pickup system which will make the Troubadour Dreadnought absolutely unbeatable on stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Maton AP5-Pro Electronics\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe highly selective cardioid microphone system allows for much greater microphone level before feedback in live environments. This upgraded AP5-Pro microphone is direct mounted to the pre-amp casing with an adjustable arm, which permits easy final tweaking of microphone position to suit the individual artist's playing style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing the ‘Sweep-able Mid’ controls. Mid-range is sweep-able from 600Hz to 2.4kHz and can be cut or boosted within this range. As a general rule we start out with all settings ‘flat’ then alter them to achieve the desired tone \u0026amp; presence based on the venue or recording environment. For example, an open, natural sound can be achieved by setting the frequency control at 1.4khz and the boost\/cut control at 5db. Alternatively, for a ‘thick’ lead sound boost your Mid's by 5db and set the frequency dial at 1.7kh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Troubadour Jumbo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jumbo (Deep body; 4-7\/8\" at the end block)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoundboard:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sitka Spruce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSound Hole Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBack \u0026amp; Sides:\u003c\/strong\u003e Queensland Maple\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNut Width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 44.1mm (1.736\" - 1 47\/64\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale:\u003c\/strong\u003e 64.77cm (25.5\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBracing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Maton Scalloped \u0026amp; Forward Shifted X Brace\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInlays:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6mm Pearl Dots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInner Binding:\u003c\/strong\u003e Herringbone Purfling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRosette:\u003c\/strong\u003e Herringbone Sound Hole Rosette\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Profile:\u003c\/strong\u003e Soft \"C\" Shape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNut Width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 44.1mm (1.736\" - 1 47\/64\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFretboard:\u003c\/strong\u003e Streaky Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.6;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFingerboard Radius:\u003c\/strong\u003e 304.8mm (12\")\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFretwire\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"line-height: 1.6;\"\u003e: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eJescar FW43080\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNut Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSaddle Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBridge:\u003c\/strong\u003e Streaky Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTuners:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gold Grover Rotomatic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Binding:\u003c\/strong\u003e White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePick Guard:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tortoise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeadstock Overlay:\u003c\/strong\u003e Streaky Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeadstock Inlay:\u003c\/strong\u003e Maton Logo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Satin Nitrocellulose Lacquer Body \u0026amp; Neck in Tobacco Sunburst\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePickup(s):\u003c\/strong\u003e AP5 Pro\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardshell Case with Maton Logo\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSerial Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e  578\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Maton Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46739113607326,"sku":"17118","price":2849.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0156\/6529\/9556\/files\/TRB-Dread-578-5.jpg?v=1776888852","url":"https:\/\/artisanguitars.com\/en-ca\/products\/maton-guitars-troubadour-jumbo-17118","provider":"Artisan Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
