Maton EST60C Acoustic-Electric Guitar with AP5 Pickup

Stage series from the Australian brand named Maton contains two models and EST60C is the basic one, while the EST65C carries the title of the flagship. The main difference between these two is the quality of the top panel, for the 60C has A grade solid sitka spruce top, as opposed to 65C`s AA grade solid sitka spruce top. EST 60C also features Queensland walnut back and sides to complete the body. This model is available in natural color with gloss finish. Electronics department features Maton`s favorite regular series amplification, the AP5 pickup with the belonging preamp. Bridge is made of rosewood, as is on the EST65C. Neck is made of Queensland maple and it is topped with a standard 21-fret fingerboard made of rosewood. Gold plated hardware completes the specs list.

The traditional choice of soundboard timber for many guitar manufacturers, “Sitka Spruce” has become the benchmark against which all other timbers are measured. It is found on the West Coast of North America from Northern California to Alaska.

This large, hard and dense rainforest timber has proven to be an excellent laminate for our 325 and 425 series. This Australian timber produces great tone, giving a clear top end frequency response with full bodied mid and bass. It is also visually beautiful, having much in common with American Walnut.
