Maton Guitars EA80C "Australian" Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar from Justin Johnson's personal collection.
Designed and built to showcase the best of Australian tonewoods, guitar design, and craftsmanship, the "Australian" model from Maton Guitars is a masterpiece. The sound is clear, balances, nuanced, and punchy, just as at home with delicate fingerstyle picking as it is with aggressive rhythmic strumming. The Maton pickup and electronics are famous for their articulation, bullet-proof build quality, and uncanny ability to translate the natural qualities of the acoustic guitar through the PA or amp.
Check out the video below, where you can hear Justin explore the tone, playability, and unique features of this exact guitar.
