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" wide, 2 ¾" deep, and with a 24.6" scale length, it is slightly smaller than a typical jazz box.
It has a uniquely resonant tone thanks to its carved spruce top, carved maple back, and solid maple sides. The Maestro features a floating humbucker pickup supplied by Kent Armstrong. The fingerboard, bridge, tailpiece, pickguard, and tuner buttons are all made of ebony.
The Maestro’s carved spruce top is finished in natural or sunburst, while the carved back and sides are finished in sunburst. This is one of the best-performing floating-pickup guitars we have ever tested, offering minimal feedback and excellent acoustic tone when amplified.
The nut width is 1.76 inches, the width at the 12th fret is 2.16 inches, and 2.33 inches at the 20th fret, making this an excellent guitar for fingerstyle players.
The Maestro is complemented by an ebony fretboard, bridge, tailpiece, and pickguard, and sports a black Kent Armstrong floating mini-humbucker. An abalone orchid is inlaid at the 12th fret, and the volume control is discreetly located under the pickguard.
With a 381 mm wide body, 70 mm body depth, and 59 mm neck width, this is a stunningly compact archtop guitar.
Designed by guitarist Martin Taylor and built by Peerless, the Martin Taylor Maestro and Martin Taylor Virtuoso guitars set a new standard in archtop guitar design. With over 40 years of experience manufacturing archtop, acoustic, and hollow-body guitars, Peerless is one of the world’s leading guitar makers.
Peerless guitars deliver amplified tone and performance equivalent to guitars costing two to three times more. Other guitars may look the same, but once you play a Peerless, you will immediately hear the difference and be amazed at the value of these fine instruments.
