Default Matao Guitars?

Greetings,

Curious if anyone here knows any of the history surrounding Matao musical instruments.

I've seen Matao bass guitars and Les Paul copies in pawn shops and an occasional Matao uke or banjo pop up on eBay, but recently my friend's nephew showed up with a Matao MW11 acoustic guitar - probably all laminate, but man...sweet little voice. Not loud, but very balanced and pleasing. Guessing approx. 30 years old. Sloppy glue work inside (as would be expected), but a real joy to play.

Decent guitars can show up in the chapeast of examples.

Marc
