Default Unusual one for the Maton fans.....

No affiliation, but I see a used Maton Messiah EM100c 808 with a burst for sale.
I did see a new dread Messiah with burst for sale earlier this year and it went in ....seconds! They must paint them now and again. (I have the beautiful Plane Jane Messiah 808).

What do you think?


Sorry, the link is deleted - guitar is gone from shop.

It was a nice sunburst! I should have copied the photo to Imgur or something...

It's a pretty guitar. I love the finish. Hopefully they will get them in some shops in the USA where we can play them soon. I'm very "Maton" curious, but at that price point, I need to play one before I'd chance ordering one.

It's beautiful, but what are those things at each end of the saddle? They look like hex head screws. Is it just decoration?

Saddle height adjustments.

No, the screws are holding the large pickup system under the bridge. I have a factory applied sticker on my bridge that says not to adjust! A hole is routed in the top of the guitar and the bridge is carved out to fit the system (there is a mic on a boom arm that I don't see in this ad):

Here is a Maton factory video showing the 'bridging' area.....
