Something Different - Maton Messiah small body with burst finish
Just listed at Acoustic Centre - no affiliation - normally they are natural sitka topped (I have one), but they have been doing a few custom burst finishes of late - I saw advertised a Jumbo Messiah and a dread Messiah with bursts - long gone!
This one has a burst and a cutaway. Maton Messiah EM100C-808L https://www.acousticcentre.com.au/co...ustom-sunburst BluesKing777. |

Someone else thought the same thing...it's gone, sold.
That was quick. I just played mine for while, it is a beautiful guitar and it could be a shame to paint over the top of mine....AAA Sitka is the blurb. While that doesn't mean diddly if it doesn't sound good, mine is about a 1 1/2 years old and really coming in to its own. (the little mark below the bridge in the photo is a sand flea thinking of eating my guitar! BluesKing777. |

That silking on your top is amazing and the herringbone looks good too.

It sounds better every day!
Do you want to see the back and sides? I will post some photos later - they really did ‘save the best for the Messiahs’ as claimed. And they did a great setup at the factory - I haven’t touched a thing. I wonder if the sunburst got as nice a top? Shame to cover it. BluesKing777. |

The back of that guitar is superb! Maton has a few dealers in the States; perhaps I will have a look at one someday.

A thread was just started by a new USA Maton dealer.....
I should point out that the beautiful guitar above that I posted is the top of the line production model 808 size. So no, Matons are not all like this. They have a whole range of woods and sizes to suit the various needs. There is also a full custom shop where I haven't dallied, as yet. If the world ever returns to normal sometime, that is on the bucket list - a full custom BK777 model Set the controls for the heart of the sun, baby! BluesKing777. |
