Here is a rather cool Maton Flamingo in very good condition for it's age. This guitar has been professionally refinished in the past to what could be described as a 'charcoal blue burst' that looks great. The serial number of this guitar dates it to approximately late 1964 or 1965.

This guitar shows signs of wear from use and, as mentioned earlier, has been professionally refinished in the past. There are some small dings around the body, some patina to the hardware and some fret wear (as pictured).

A very cool 60's Maton with its original hardshell case.

An advanced design featuring smooth moulded finish with attractive double cutaway and fall away style for easy handling, allowing freedom to all twenty fret positions.
