Condition:

This guitar is in fantastic almost-mint condition, with just some minor cosmetic wear and tear to show it as being second hand. There is one small impression in the binding on the bottom side edge of the guitar, where the thigh would sit when being played sitting down. There are also some super delicate impressions on the back of the guitar body, near the neck strap pin. It appears the strap that had been used must have had a metal buckle or something of the sort, which has pressed against the guitar when played. The impressions are so tiny that you can only see them under certain light angles, and none have broken through the finish. There are also a handful of tiny pick marks on the pickguard, which can only be seen under direct light. Besides this, the guitar is in as-new condition, playing and functioning perfectly, with zero wear to the frets or neck. Comes with the original case and documentation as pictured.

To celebrate 75 years of continuous guitar production in Melbourne, Australia we decided to produce a guitar that showcased the best design and construction we could bring to a guitar, as well as to celebrate the tonewoods we love and cherish.

We’ve produced a number of excellent celebratory guitars recently, particularly the 70th anniversary models and the Vera May centenary model, so we wanted this one to really stand out (by the way Vera just celebrated her 101st birthday and is still going strong…).

We are also entering into a new and exciting era in Maton’s history as another group of Maton luthiers enter their second decade of guitar making. These talented young craftspeople are adding to the work of our older, more experienced hands to consistently create instruments that are the best Maton has ever produced, and the world is taking note!

In recent years we have explored new shapes, materials and specifications through research and development in conjunction with the Maton Custom Shop and the passion and drive of Custom Shop luthier, Andy Allen. Many of our recent production models have benefitted from that work. We wanted this 75th Anniversary model to showcase all of this work.
