      Maton EM100C-808 Messiah Acoustic Electric Guitar

      An absolute dream guitar. Could not be happier with the purchase! The sound is amazing, and the overall finish is just superb. Many thanks to Dan for helping me with this online purchase. It’s the second Maton I have purchased through the Acoustic Centre, and both guitars received have been perfection. This one looks great next to the EA80C :) I highly recommend Acoustic Centre!

      In love all over again

      The experience with The Acoustic Centre, 1st class as always. The guitar, I love it. The finish and tone are exceptional. I was nervous about the neck's gloss finish, but after I played it, I couldn't put it down.

      review maton messiah em100c 808

      Ever since I first laid eyes in this guitar in matons catalogue I fell in love with the specs. The parlour style guitar is awesome when standing up or sitting down, not too much bulk there. And with its awesome tone is a delight to play amped up through the AP5 pro pickup, or Just acoustically. The fret is amazing and I love to wrap my fingers around this solid neck and play for hours.
