Maton’s 808 body size is designed as a performing guitar – its smaller size is more comfortable while standing, and its stiffer build gives more sustain and punch.
The 808 Cutaway incorporates a smoothly contoured, scooped area on the upper bout of the guitar, allowing easier access to the higher frets while maintaining the rich tone.
The most recognisable of these body sizes is the Dreadnought has a full and rich tone, best suited for acoustic strumming and singers who need a loud and punchy accompaniment.
The Dreadnought Cutaway combines the powerful, full-bodied sound of a traditional Dreadnought with the added versatility of a cutaway design. This allows for easier access to the higher frets, making it perfect for solos and complex finger work.
A travel sized, even smaller guitar body that is a very versatile companion. Ideal for players who are constantly on the move and for gigging musicians who like to loop and have a controlled live sound.
Born out of the desire to discover new tonal possibilities and create ultimate versatility. To this day the Traditional is still the most requested body size by customers.
It takes years for the full potential of an acoustic guitar to be realised. It will grow with you as its woods become more and more responsive to the vibrations of your playing. It will help you realise the music within you until it becomes an extension of yourself. Your guitar will become your sound, your voice and your music.
At Maton we understand this; after all, we’re guitar players too. We know that making the guitar is just the beginning, the rest is up to you.
A world class guitar deserves a world class pickup.
Maton manufactures its own pickups, which we consider essential to maintaining the sound of both the instrument and its internal amplification system. After much research and development, the first Maton AP4 Pickup system was created.
