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.

FWIW, I've never even heard of them.
