I went to the Maton factory to try, at the time a 325 (now superseded). I played the 325 & its was great, in budget etc. Whilst I was hanging up the 325, one of the 'makers' came out the factory area & said, 'just finished this Messiah, do you want to try it'? Sure, I'll try it. I strummed a simple C chord, thats my level, literally, just one strum, 'that's the guitar I want.' So ordered the dreadnought. Had it now since 2005. The best guitar Ive ever owned. Ive heard they call it the 'Messiah', because when you play it, you say to yourself 'Jesus christ'! That sounds unbelievable.! I still cant believe it.
If you purchased it in 2005 that would make it around 19 years old now, almost vintage (20 years is vintage). They age like fine wine, so I'm sure your Messiah has taken on that darker golden appearance by now and sounds more gorgeous today than it did in 2005!
I just purchased this guitar. It’s in a class of its own. I ordered it without the cutaway. Beautiful tone and superbly crafted. It’s not cheap but worth every penny. Most beautiful acoustic I have ever played.
Jeff Martin's guitar!! As a Canadian and a musician of over 30 years he has been a mess of inspiration to me and has pushed me towards the Maton brand of guitars 👍
Has a great sound here. Also, Stradivarious built a violin he named the Messiah, It never left his shop until he died, and It is immaculate condition even today.
I have a 2013 and sounds so silky smooth. I pulled it out of the case and played along to "Nothing Else Matters" from Metallica, and my mother couldn't believe I was playing exactly along with the speaker. Epic guitar, no matter what you play on it.
it looks so good !!!!! I love this ebony headstock!!!! Can I add some money to exchange this EM100c with my 3-month-old EA80c the Australian Maton? I love the black wood side and back, but this version of Messiah look so good !!!!!!!!!!!! Well done Maton!!!!
They changed some minor specs of the model (outer binding from rosewood to blackwood, headplate from rosewood to ebony). They haven't updated it on their website but it was announced on their instagram post.

Purchased one, can’t put it down. Beyond beautiful.

Im thinking of getting this for myself. Do you think it's any better than the cheaper ebg808te or artist models?
The most perfectly balanced guitar I’ve heard in years. Like no other. 🤷🏻♂️
The bass is so rich and airy ahhhh such bliss.
Yep , own one myself - very balanced and even tone . I love it 🥰
I can attest that the Maton messiah dreadnought is more responsive and articulate than a CFM Dreadnought. 🎧

Wow this guitar sounds amazing!
Just purchased the 808 model . A beautiful guitar
These are really great guitars! sound is warm and woody and play great!
Maton makes many excellent guitars, but this one really stands out to me above all the others. It's hard to beat the Sitka/Indian rosewood combo.
I have a 2022 Messiah 808 with cutaway. Mine doesn't have the nice binding like this even though I explicitly asked for it but it sure plays nice
I'm honored to be your 100th like, what a masterpiece!
Have Jeff Martin play one NOW! Then I'm buying it! Matons are Great guitars
なんて言う美しい音。脱魂しそうなくらいに聴き惚れてしまう。
Why did Maton drop their non cutaway dreadnought? Messiah EM100
What a beauty
Ah yes the combination of a Spruce top with Indian Rosewood back and sides. To my ear that makes for beautiful, balanced tone.
That was just beautiful champ. Thanks.
beautiful

zeping song Keep both, you’ll be glad you did! But yes this guitar is just epic, opens up nicely after a few years of playing
I cannot find this model (this Messiah has ebony headstock and Blackwood binding) in Maton’s website. Any idea?

Thank you for the info!
Yes I own one I waited 30 years and now .... well make your own mind up
Wow. Just wow
Bellissima....un sogno!
I ❤ this one
They no longer make EM100J, EM100. ONLY EM100C . SO SADDDDDD!!!
Cost in USD?
About $2,700
Эх,были бы у меня деньги..
