Maton EA 80C Australian Series Guitar

Maton EA 80C Australian Series Guitar

Created as a tribute to the culmination of 70 successful years, Maton's new “Australian” series showcases the country's many indigenous timbers. With beautiful Tasmanian Blackwood back and sides from Otway Ranges to Queensland Maple along the neck, it is hard to imagine guitars with more stunning appointments and features.

This EA 80C features these woods, as well as Blackwood touches along the bindings and headstock overlay in a refreshingly natural look. Constructed in a traditional "dreadnought" size, the EA 80C is a powerhouse in voice as well as beauty. With Sitka Spruce along the top and braces, each strum produces a rich, well balanced sound ideal for softer and harder playing styles. The fretboard and bridge feature Indian Rosewood, helping create a more complex voice. As well, the 80C includes a cutaway to better access those crisp treble notes on solos and harmonics above the 12th fret. Listen to our recording of Dan Bankhurst playing fingerstyle and flatpicking in the MP3 above and tell us what you think!

This new Maton EA 80C plays like a dream and includes a Maton-molded Hiscox Hardshell Case. To see more, take a look at our photo gallery.
