    The perfect gift

    Gave my husband this beautiful guitar for his 50th. He keeps making small gasping sounds when he opens the case - he's bowled over. And the guys were amazingly helpful as I was buying it. Had it shipped to Sydney in a great case and that was seamless.

    Buzz Messiah

    I have a pretty new Messiah purchased from Buzz music in Cairns, in 2019. The Messiah is my second Maton, the first being an SRS70 Solid Road Series. Not only is the Messiah a great sound producing woodland instrument., it's finish is by far the best that I have ever seen on an acoustic/electric guitar in my 71 years on planet Earth. Maton really know their stuff. If Tommy Emanuel carries 3 Matons with him around the world, one would expect them to be an excellent instrument of course. I haven't got Tommy's bankroll but the Maton Messiah is within easy reach of any working or retired adult, male or female. You know the feeling...when you pick it up for the first time and plug it into your favourite amplifier and play it for the first time, it is THEN that the real reason you purchased it, really hits you in the face. The sound is fantastic, full of all the expectations that you were greedily looking for but not really expecting ALL of them to be realised, then a pleasant surprise to see that Maton delivered, in a sophisticated illustrious professional style that is 2nd to none. All Matons are excellent guitars, but the Messiah is my preferred interpreter of my musical prowess, as humble as it is.

    Absolutely stunning

    This guitar is by far the most beautiful sounding guitar I have ever played, and still remains so 3 years on. The action is sublime and the tone us out of this world - crisp and clear, yet with rich, bass notes. This guitar will certainly be in my collection for life! Thanks to the amazing team for your service back in 2014!

    Maton Messiah EM100C

    Wow! What can I say about this guitar. I have bought so many guitars over the years looking for the “One” for Me. Found it! I bought an $8,000 US (no names) and it did not satisfy like this has. I’ve tried dreadnoughts, auditoriums, OM, OOO, you name it. Played plenty of guitars (30yrs) - and have enjoyed them all, but not like this. Every time I strum a chord I smile. Seriously, smile. When’s the last you did that. Maton have done a really exceptional build on this one. Half the price of Martin's, Taylor’s etc. of equivalent quality. well worth the drive...

    Bloody Fantastic

    Very rich, warm sound with crystal glassy highs that just shout 'I've made it'. Very balanced tone, superb playability and can take a quite a number of hard knocks with no worry (not that I'd recommend you purposefully test that out). 10/10 in every sense! Highly recommended

    An all-round great guitar

    This is a really nice guitar. Bought one from Acoustic Centre about a week ago and I love it. Beautiful to look at and a beautiful tone. Powerful and balanced sound. The neck feels nice and playability is excellent. The AP5-pro pick up does a great job of amplifying the natural tone of the instrument. An all-round great guitar.
