From its humble beginnings in 1967 this affordable, quality guitar has probably been behind more great songs and performances than any other Australian acoustic guitar. It was always intended to be a reliable, robust workhorse for all guitar players, whether it be in the recording studio producing hit songs, on the road with a touring artist, at an open mic in a coffee shop or at home after a hard day’s work. The CW80 has been there for generations of musicians.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter a brief hiatus the CW80 has returned, this time to mark the 80\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eyear of Maton guitars. The CW80 has a mahogany neck, back and sides, a Sitka Spruce soundboard and an Indian Rosewood fretboard and bridge. These are classic CW80 timbers and were used on the model from the late 1970s up to the mid-1990s, after which the neck back and sides changed to Queensland Maple. The binding is rock maple, a departure from the original plastic bindings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe guitar is finished in a polished nitro cellulose finish and is stained in the traditional Maton colours from the CW80’s “golden era” from 1978 to 2000.
