Solid Australian Timbers, Superb Australian Craftsmanship, World Class Tone. Hand crafted in Australia for the World stage and in every sense – a superb musical instrument.
The Limited Edition Maton 70th Anniversary Series was a wonderful celebration of the accumulated experience and guitar wisdom made possible by 70 years of continuous guitar building in Australia.
This is the Maton 70th Anniversary Series Acoustic Electric Dreadnought Guitar – the 70TH-DN-C.
Maton’s senior luthiers sought to create really something special when they put their collective heads together to create a guitar worthy of this significant landmark.
In a first for Maton the 70TH-DN-C features a gloss soundboard and satin back and sides. The tonal result of this combination is the full, natural tone associated with Maton’s satin finish and a sophisticated top end usually associated with full gloss models like the Messiah.
The back, sides and neck are hewn from select Victorian Blackwood with elegant Rosewood binding while the bridge and fingerboard are made from Indian Rosewood.
The crowning glory of this beautiful musical instrument is the AAA Grade Solid Sitka Spruce Soundboard with hand scalloped bracing. The Dreadnought body also features a soft Venetian cutaway aiding access to the upper reaches of the Rosewood fretboard.
The Maton 70TH-DN-C Dreadnought Guitar features gold Grover machine heads, a tortoise shell pick guard and Maton’s superb AP5-Pro pickup system.
This is a beautifully elegant guitar, full of guitar building sophistication and tradition . . . after all, it has been 70 years in the making!
