Peerless Martin Taylor Maestro

Product Description

The Peerless Martin Taylor Maestro is the first Signature model in the 41 year history of Peerless. Designed by Martin Taylor himself, the Maestro is a true work of art. At 15″ width, 2 3/4″ depth, 24.6″ scale, it is slightly smaller than the typical jazzbox.

It has a uniquely resonant tone, thanks to its carved spruce top, carved maple back, and sides of solid maple. The Maestro has a floating humbucker pickup, suppled by Kent Armstrong. The fingerboard, bridge, tailpiece, pickguard, and tuner buttons are made of ebony. The Maestro’s carved spruce top is finished in natural or sunburst , and the carved back and sides are sunburst. This is one of the best performing floating pickup guitars that we have ever tested with minimal feedback and great acoustic tone can be heard when amplified. The nut width is 1.76 inch and the width at the 12th fret 2.16 inches and 2.33″ at the 2oth fret, making this a perfect guitar for anyone that fingerpicks.

The Martin Taylor Maestro is the higher spec model with blonde carved solid spruce top, antique sunburst carved solid maple back and solid maple sides. The guitar is complimented in perfect contrast with ebony fretboard, bridge, tailpiece and pickguard and sports a black Kent Armstrong floating mini-humbucker. An abalone orchid is inlaid on the 12th fret and the volume control is located under the pickguard for discreet adjustment. A 381mm wide, 70mm deep body and 59mm neck width makes this a stunningly compact guitar.
