Maton CW80

Great tone, fills the room with sound easily, great sustain yet very subtle when played softly. The factory fitted Elixir strings last for ages. Light and comfortable to play. Superb build quality & finish. This is Maton's entry level solid wood and I bought this one because I wanted a quality instrument but didn't think that my skill level justified me buying a top end model. I have been delighted with it. For value for money (it cost £860) I think it is hard to beat and to my ears sounded better than many models from Taylor, Martin etc at well over £1k.

If you are looking for a serious guitar I recommend that you try out a Maton or check out Tommy Emmanuel on You Tube to see what they sound like - I bet you'll like them!
