Maton Guitars Custom Shop Grand Royale Jumbo

Andy Allen joined the team at Maton in 1994. After 22 years on the floor, he was chosen as their lead craftsman to launch the Maton Custom Shop in 2006.

In the 16 years as Master Luthier, this Grand Royale Jumbo represents the1,400 guitars that Andy has built in a prolific tribute to Bill May.

Custom Shop Serial # 1400

Hard Rock or "Sugar" Maple has nearly twice the surface hardness as Big Leaf Maple, more common with mass produced guitars. The weight (or specific gravity) of Hard Rock Maple is directly related to the janka hardness. Hard Rock Maple offers a sturdier bass register while also deflecting sound waves further (more projection = greater volume).

The European Spruce soundboard has a clean, clearer note articulation than Sitka Spruce. As a stiffer species, it is potentially louder. We can appreciate why Andy would choose this tone wood to compliment the denser Rock Maple back & sides.

Maton Custom Shop models are built solely by Master Builder Andy Allen. He hand picks the premium wood sets for his master grade collection. Andy has built guitars for many famous Maton artists. His detailed work for each creation is captured in photos during the build process for each guitar, accompanied by a USB drive with dozens of photos for each specific guitar.

This Maton Custom Shop Jumbo is equipped with the AP5 Pro. The AP5 Pro now features Separate Microphone and Piezo input controls allow for blending of both microphone and piezo levels prior to sending the actively combined signals through to the tone circuits and master volume. Highly selective cardioid microphone system allows for much greater microphone level before feedback in live environments.

This newly upgraded microphone is direct mounted to the pre-amp casing via an adjustable arm, which permits easy final tweaking of microphone position to suit the individual artists style.

    It’s meh
    Color: Natural Oak, Number Of Shelves: 1, Size: 35.4 inches
    Instructions are different than what comes. It’s hard to level and because there isn’t as many mounting points as the instructions it’s more flimsy than you’d think. Still works but can take some finessing to get it to be sturdy enough depending on what you’re planning on putting on it. Looks good and like the pictures though.

    Light weight but solid floating shelf
    Color: Black, Number Of Shelves: 1, Size: 47.2 inches, Color: Black, Number Of Shelves: 1, Size: 47.2 inches
    Having looked around at brick and mortar stores around me locally I had a really hard to find one that was long enough to fit my wall. Glad I was able to find the Balucci floating shelf 48'. As a collector or toys and memorabilia from my travels I wanted something in my room that could hold a substantial amount of small toys and items. Installing was very easy pretty much securing the base with the hardware provided. And securing the base to the shelf itself. I'm very happy with the quality and also the strength of the shelf. Even with a good tug it was very tight. Maybe some longer screws would be more secure but I think the ones provided were good enough.

    Simple, easy, and strong
    Size: 16 Inch, Color: White
    Kind of on the smaller side but for the price it’s just fine. Easy to install with just a screw driver if you can miss a stud, else you’ll need a drill. Strong enough to hold what a normal person would put on a shelf that size. No worries and it looks great
