Description

Edit description

The Maton Messiah EM100/C was remodelled for a new beginning back in 2012. Featuring a newly tuned, scalloped braced top and Solid Rosewood back and side sets, this Australian Music Industry icon has taken its classic worldly timbers and expanded its tonal spectrum. A new Solid Mahogany Neck adds thickness to its deeper and richer tone and again the Maton UV paint finishes this model with a finer and more refined quality. The Maton signature M MOP decal on the headstock is the finishing touch to a guitar that is truly a world class performer.

The Maton EM100C Messiah Acoustic Guitar is a standout for its rich, balanced tone and exceptional durability. Over 13 years, it has aged gracefully, offering immaculate highs and impressive sustain. Versatile across genres from blues to folk, it’s a reliable instrument that has only minor cosmetic wear and a known battery terminal issue with certain brands. Its construction features high-quality materials like AAA Sitka Spruce and Indian Rosewood, complemented by a robust MP5 pickup system. Despite a high initial factory setup, adjustments have made it a joy to play. Overall, it's a superbly crafted guitar that continues to impress.
