    Oh yeah, I am diggin' this all Blackwood EBW70C dreanought from Maton Guitars. I've never played an acoustic guitar with an all-Blackwood construction (back, sides, and soundboard) so I was curious about how the tone compared to a more traditional approach of using a lighter hardwood on the top... but man, I am so impressed with the balance, complexity, and controlled power that comes from this baby!

    I used to work at Maton for about 3.5yrs. I can tell you they are second to none on quality. It would blow your mind to see how pedantic and perfectionist they are on their build quality and attention to detail. Way better than many of the biggest brands. If you get one of these guitars you will never regret it.

    Beautiful guitar. Matons are iconic here in Australia. I grew up listening to my Dad play his 1968 Maton dreadnaught (way older than me, still in pristine condition), and it runs in the family as I have a Maton now too, it's my pride and joy. Wonderful to see them gaining more and more international recognition.

After seeing this video and one of my favorite guitar maestros, Justin, smiling while playing this Maton I immediately changed my mind and placed and order for this guitar. Thanks for all the joy you bring to this world Justin 🎸

    Great breakdown Justin.The more the Maton is played the greater the tone becomes. Much overlooked brand in my opinion.I own 2 of them.One semi acoustic cutaway 12 string and one semi acoustic cutaway 6 string.The 6 string I play more often and I've noticed over the years the tone has got richer.Much like a high end piano. Vety much a high end guitar at a practical price.Regards Mark

It sounds dramatic with the piezoelectric pick up dialed in. Just the mike gave a totally different sound. What a versatile instrument. I enjoy your "unboxings".

      Cole Clark's are better percussive guitars, but have to disagree on the pickups - that AP5 Pro in most Maton's now is a very natural sound that is hard to fault.

    My personal dream Maton is a SRS60 in the rare ghost black finish with black tuners. In a country where so much local manufacturing and jobs have been lost to globalism it makes me proud to think that Maton are still going strong, still kicking out some of the best guitars in the world. Patriotism is a funny thing, it doesn't stand up to any rational scrutiny. What the hell do I know about, or contribute to, when it comes to making these guitars? Yet I still feel 'proud' that there are Aussies getting out of bed every morning and going to work on these amazing instruments. We all do our bit in our own fields I guess, and feel pride in others from our country who do it exceptionally well.

      @@peterbrown7913 Maton, especially the cheaper models, aren't impressive acoustically. Not bad necessarily but definitly quiet and lacking bass, with a bit of a boxy sound. But amplified they always work and they sound great. If you don't play amplified atleast 75% of the time, I'd also skip maton. I own a maton messiah btw. I also own a furch red and acoustically it's louder and warmer but amplified it just doesn't come close.
