By Shape
Nashville Series
Blackwood is an Australian timber that sits firmly in the mids, giving the guitar a warm, woody, vocal character that suits recording and accompaniment as readily as the stage. The 808 body, Maton’s most enduring shape, keeps the bass full without ever crowding the midrange where a singer sits. Scalloped Maton X bracing keeps the top alive under a light touch and holds together when driven.
A Vintage Amber Burst satin finish over gold Grover Rotomatics gives it the look to match, and the AP5 PRO — one of the finest acoustic pickup systems in the world — means it translates faithfully the moment you plug in. Bone nut and saddle, supplied in a Standard Maton Hard Case.
It is also Keith Urban’s choice — fitting, for a guitar that carries Nashville in its name.
