Critic Reviews

ECW80C Review: I wanted the cutaway but I don't play on stage so... | Maton | Acoustic Guitars | Reviews @ Ultimate-Guitar.Com

ultimate-guitar.com

The Maton ECW80C offers a stellar blend of craftsmanship and versatility, perfect for genres from folk to classical. The reviewer praises its exceptional sound, highlighted by a solid Sitka spruce top and Queensland maple back, allowing for rich harmonics across the fretboard. However, the guitar's finish shows wear over time, including minor scratches and a slight sheen from regular strumming, which may concern some players. Additionally, the neck's thicker profile might not suit everyone. Still, with a score of 9.6, this guitar stands out as a professional instrument that delights both stage performers and casual players alike, proving its worth despite some minor drawbacks.
