Maton Guitars EM100C-808 Messiah Cutaway - 16248

A beauty to look at and a masterpiece when played. - The Maton Guitars EM100 Messiah is a guitar icon in Australia, and features a tried and true tonewood combination of Sitka Spruce and Indian Rosewood.

The Maton Guitars EM100C-808 Messiah is the most appointed Maton model without crossing over the line into the Custom Shop production. The Sitka Spruce/Indian Rosewood construction is familiar to us here in the states.

Sitka is the most popular soundboard species in the world and is articulate with excellent velocity control. Indian Rosewood has a wide sound, giving you bell-like high end sparkle and warmer low end power in the bass register. Combined you get a wonderfully sonic acoustic instrument with strong frequencies across the spectrum.

The Maton Messiah Series is a great alternative tonal register to their native hardwoods. As intended with all Maton guitars, a strong balance across tonal registers, but with more bottom end. Perfect for songwriters!

The proprietary Maton "808" body shape is similar, though slightly smaller that the US OM Model. However, the body depth of the 808 is substantially deeper at 4-7/8". This is significant, as moving the top and back further apart enhances the bass element within the tonal character of the voicing (bracing technique), complimenting the different wood combinations

In its 5th generation, the AP5 Pro features an internal Microphone and 6-Piezo bridge input, with controls that allow for blending of both microphone and piezo levels prior to sending the actively combined signals through the well engineered pre-amp.

The highly selective cardioid microphone system allows for much greater microphone level before feedback in live environments. This upgraded AP5-Pro microphone is direct mounted to the pre-amp casing with an adjustable arm, which permits easy final tweaking of microphone position to suit the individual artist's playing style.

Using the ‘Sweep-able Mid’ controls. Mid-range is sweep-able from 1 to 2khz and can be cut or boosted within this range. As a general rule we start out with all settings ‘flat’ then alter them to achieve the desired tone & presence based on the venue or recording environment. For example, an open, natural sound can be achieved by setting the frequency control at 1.4khz and the boost/cut control at 5db. Alternatively, for a ‘thick’ lead sound boost your mid's by 5db and set the frequency dial at 1.7kh.

Good quality
Size: 9*3*2 Inches, Color: Grey(2PCS)
They are good quality, no signs of rusting or flaking, & are built very sturdy. The measurements are a little inaccurate due to the tapered edges from bottom to top, so it may not fit as expected which happened in my case. The attachment edges don’t pair to other brands of organizers well so don’t expect them to stay attached. Nonetheless, worth the money for its need.

Excellent as Bird Feeders
Size: 12*3*2 Inches, Color: Black(2PCS)
Purchased these to sit on top of our trellis as bird feeders. The holes are large enough for zip ties and provide excellent aeration and drainage.

Good quality

Unfortunately these did not work for me due to the shape (smaller at the bottom, which wasted space I needed). Looks like good quality.
