The Maton Messiah Series stands as Australia's most uncompromising acoustic guitar, where world-class materials meet flawless craftsmanship in a flagship instrument designed for discerning musicians. This Australian Music Industry icon underwent a complete redesign in 2012, combining classic worldly timbers with innovative construction techniques to expand its tonal spectrum and aesthetic appeal.
At the heart of the Messiah lies a newly tuned, scalloped braced AAA Grade Spruce top paired with solid Indian Rosewood back and sides, creating a tonal foundation that sets this instrument apart from the competition. The mahogany neck, thinner rounded back profile, and ultra-thin UV finish work together to bring out the best characteristics of these premium tonewoods, while the signature 'M' Mother of Pearl decal on the headstock provides the finishing touch to this world-class performer.
The 808 cutaway body features exquisite appointments including herringbone rosette and inner binding, blackwood outer binding with rock maple pinstripe, and ebony fingerboard adorned with mother-of-pearl snowflake inlays plus the distinctive 17th fret Messiah block inlay. Gold Grover Rotomatic machine heads, bone nut and saddle, and the integrated AP5 Pro pickup system complete the premium specification, with each instrument proudly made in Australia and supplied with a protective Hiscox case.
