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 \u003cstrong\u003eCW80\u003c\/strong\u003e has been there for generations of musicians.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eAfter a brief hiatus the CW80 has returned, this time to mark the 80\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e year of Maton guitars. The \u003cstrong\u003eCW80 has a Figured Queensland Maple Neck, Fijian Mahogany back and sides, a Engelmann Spruce soundboard and an Indian Rosewood fingerboard and bridge\u003c\/strong\u003e. 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 ABS bindings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe guitar is finished in a polished nitro cellulose finish and is stained in the traditional Maton colors from the CW80’s “golden era” from 1978 to 2000. It is equipped with Maton’s brilliant AP5 Pro pickup system and fitted with chrome Grover machine heads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eWhile the appearance of the CW80 80\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e Anniversary edition evokes Maton’s history, the tone of this guitar benefits from the great strides in acoustic tone achieved by Maton over recent years.
