Maton EBW70C Blackwood Dreadnought Cutaway Acoustic-electric Guitar

These stunning Maton Blackwood guitars are a delight. The use of Australian Blackwood, and Australian Native Timbers in general, has been a long-held passion of Peter, and this new series of guitars is going to prove to be a winner amongst discerning guitarists. Australian Blackwood is a tone wood that blends the power or rosewood with the warmth of mahogany. The resonance and volume of these guitars will clearly cross many music-genre boundaries and we hope it proves to be a versatile instrument in your hands. 

The Maton Blackwood Series Guitars are an exciting new range of acoustic guitars demonstrating the company’s commitment to excellence and intrinsic value built into every instrument that leaves their factory. The recent Solid Road Series guitars have gained much respect for their quality and this new Blackwood Series is a further indication that Maton have a clear mission to put quality instruments within reach of today’s demanding players. The Blackwood Series is going to interest a lot of players with the tonal characteristics at hand in one of these guitars. As Maton states….

'Blackwood has a warm, full tone with a particularly pleasing mid frequency response and has become one of our most sought after timbers. It may be of interest to learn, that whenever a Maton employee gets to make their own guitar, they almost always choose Blackwood.’
