The Maton EM100C Messiah Custom Blacktop is a breathtaking one-off build crafted exclusively for Acoustic Centre. Designed to showcase the finest in tonewood selection and aesthetic detail, this guitar features a striking custom Black Top finish over solid AAA-grade Sitka spruce, paired with premium Indian rosewood back and sides for a bold, complex tone with deep lows, sparkling highs and a wonderfully articulate midrange.

Loaded with Maton's AP5 Pro pickup system, the Messiah offers superior stage performance, blending a piezo element with an onboard condenser mic for real depth and clarity when amplified. The 808 cutaway body shape ensures a balanced response, while the ebony fingerboard and snowflake inlays add elegance and playability. With a rosewood and maple-bound body, gloss finish and a protective flight case, this custom Blacktop Messiah is ideal for serious musicians after a genuinely show-stopping instrument.
