Here's a great find for the fan of vintage Maton guitars! This Maton Premier 45A dates to the 1960s and is in good condition for its age. A lovely sunburst finish over a Canadian Spruce top and Maple back & sides looks great.
This Maton has been freshly setup and is playing very well with a smooth action. The nicely aged tonewoods deliver a classic arcthop tone with great projection.
There are some obvious signs of wear and use on this guitar including signs of a previous headstock repair from a partial break as pictured. There is also other marks, scratches and lacquer checking as pictured. The frets and fretboard show wear consistent with age (as pictured).
A neat vintage Maton, comes with non-original hardshell case.
