Blackwood Series
Pure Blackwood tone – clear, bright trebles, strong mid range and full bass. The all Blackwood construction produces a unique compression, blending frequencies into a new, unique voice.
That density of a Blackwood soundboard offers a natural compression, so the notes sit level with one another instead of competing for space in the sonic palette. Dig in and it stays composed, with an evenness of tone that is hard to match.
No cutaway here, so the lower bout stays whole and the bass keeps a little more air behind it. Rope binding, rope rosette, streaky ebony, Queensland Maple neck, natural satin. AP5 PRO, chrome Grovers, Standard Maton Hard Case. Left-handed to order — and there’s a cutaway version if you want the upper frets.
Maton has a deep respect for the natural timber and the sustainable management of wood species.
