The top
The top is made of solid spruce to generate a clear and balanced sound. Spruce wood is ideally suited for constructing high-quality musical instruments due to its fine grain and superior sound characteristics. Below the soundhole is the initial "M" in white colour, which tastefully contrasts the matte black colouring of the body. The top is bordered by a delicate, multi-layered rosewood binding, which perfectly matches the rosewood bridge and the delicate, light-coloured soundhole rosette. and to protect the top wood from scratches, a vast checkerboard is positioned below the soundhole.
The laminated mahogany body provides warm basses
Back and sides
The back and sides are made of mahogany to enrich the bass frequencies with a warm note. The extra thinly layered material harmonizes excellently with the solid top wood, so there is no need to fear any sound loss. Thus, the guitar gains substance in the bass and midrange even with a light touch of the strings and produces a broad sound carpet in a rapid response. The individual components of the back of the body are also bordered by wooden bindings so that the overall appearance turns out very coherent and premium.
That stands out! Here volume, bass and treble can be controlled on the instrument
Electronics
To round out the Peter Maffay Signature model in terms of functionality, an extensive custom pickup system is built into the body. Through the pressure that the strings exert on the bridge inlay and the piezo element underneath, the acoustic sound of the acoustic guitar is picked up directly and passed on to the amplifier. In addition, the output signal can be individually adjusted via three top-mounted potentiometers. Thus, the overall volume, bass and treble frequencies can be adjusted. The active system is powered by a 9V block battery, which is located in a battery compartment in the bottom frame.
