(ARCHIVE) Maton M225/LH Left Handed Dreadnought Acoustic 2009
- Description
- Guitarchives
Maton M225, lefty, natural finish, made in Melbourne 2009. The cutaway/electric right-handed version of this guitar was probably the biggest selling acoustic in the country for a decade or so... they're simple and effective. This one has aged nicely to a pleasing warm caramel colour, it looks great. The tone is full and snappy with a generous, fast low end. If you're after a simple upside-down strummer that will continue to age gracefully, here's a good candidate.
