Waiata Ataahua
Waiata Ataahua. Sounds of the spirit, from the Land of The Long White Cloud
Only a trip to New Zealand by Maton's Custom Shop luthier could have inspired the Waiata Ataahua guitar. He was touched by the artistic tradition of New Zealand's Maori people and he pays tribute to them with the inclusion of striking inlaid imageson the fingerboard.
The floral emblem of New Zealand, the elegent fern, appears on the bridge, streaky ebony is used for the back and sides and sitka spruce for the face. This combination provides a full, punchy sound with glassy upper partial harmonics.
The neck is made from decorative dense Honduras Mahogany and a unique Mastersound headstock with ebony veneer make for a distinctive neck that adds tonal warmth and terrific playability. A fitting tribute to the land of the long white cloud.
