1974 Maton CW80/6 Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar (w/ Pickup & OHSC)
A far cry from a case queen, this CW80/6 was made by Maton in April of 1974 and we would surmise that is has been played a fair bit since then. There is virtually no finish left on the neck and the finish on the top, back and sides has been worn down to the bone in more than just a few spots! If this guitar could talk, we think it would have some stories to tell.
Featuring an original and extremely rare Maton embossed soundhole pickup (a factory option), solid spruce top and some of the most intense wood grain on the back of a guitar we've ever seen, this is truly a one of a kind acoustic with an incredible sound and wonderful playability.
We've just given it a professional setup with a new bone saddle, bridge pins and a set of 10-48s and it's playing like a dream. Comes with it's original Maton branded case, she's ready for another few decades of storytelling.
