Maton 425/12, natural satin finish, made in Melbourne 1999.

The tone is bright and expansive, with a lovely airy midrange and a dry, tuneful bass. The pickup is simple but handy too. Note this one has a repaired crack in the top as described below. It's a friendly, agreeable twelve, you're sure to get along.
