A real head turner! The stunning looks of the Topaz will give you a lot of attention even before you start playing! The dark ovangkol wood yields a dark, woody tone with medium volume, which is a huge advantage when playing amplified. The feedback problems that you normally see with electro-acoustic guitars will occur much later, if at all, with the Topaz.
The latest developments and quality improvements have been implemented in the Topaz: Satin finished neck for perfect playability, Tusq nut and saddle for improved overtones and richness in sound, ebony fingerboard and bridge for an even faster response and more presence. Gotoh made machine heads, designed by Mayson.The new Fishman Flex Plus pickup has discrete, side-mounted controls for volume, treble and bass(batterypocket inside). The battery access is easily mounted in the lower bout.
The slightly wider neck is perfect for fingerstyle players and it still is comfortable for the strummer.
The elegant, luxurious look and professional quality are complemented by the Mayson gigbag.
No endangered woods were used to build this guitar, no need to apply for Cites permits.
A professional full set-up is done at the Mayson European Service Center.
