Maton EML/6 Mini Maton Acoustic/Electric Natural 2009
Mini Maton, natural finish, made in Australia circa 2021. Maton are far and away the most iconic instrument maker in Australia, with a history stretching back to the 1940s. The Mini Maton has been a fan favourite for a while now: aww, so cute. This one is around fifteen years old, but it's in great shape with very few marks. The tone on offer is dry and punchy, with plenty of midrange articulation on offer to add clarity and snap to fingerstyle and chord lines. The pickup, as always with Maton, sounds great too. The case is also a handy bonus. Upgrade your van/couch/life.
