I bought an 808TE and in the beginning it sounded (while unplugged) pretty quiet, dry and tight. But it was so playable that I played hours and hours and after about a month or two it completely opened up! It's almost as loud as my OM-28 or my old Taylors now...but as Andrea said, the guitar is so expressive and has so much dynamics, even unplugged. If my house was on fire and I could only grab one guitar it would be the Maton, and I'm talking about unplugged. It has a gritty tone where every string is present and punchy. The bass notes are really present, for a smaller body that's unusual, but the mids and trebles sing out too. It's like there's this natural compression that lets you hear everything. Everyone knows the Maton pickup is unbelievable, which takes it over the top of any other pickup system I've ever played, even those with combination mic and under saddles/bridge. Suffice to say, if there can be only one, it's my Maton.
For 24 years now, I have found and collected Maton guitars. I'm up to ten, and they have been the best, most trusty, versatile pieces of musical art - just so great to own.
Are you Australian?
Why do you like them?
I ask, as someone who's looking at these guitars.
Cheers.

My first time playing a Maton what impressed me was the tone - beautifully balanced, warm and mellow, just so soothing.
The build quality is also excellent, they should stay very true even in tough environmental conditions.
I had my guitar for ten years and took it in for a check / service / setup, but they took a look at it and gave it back, telling me there's "no need to spend anything on it, it's as straight as an arrow"... I really appreciated a shop that would turn away a paying customer out of honesty.
Just sit down with one, if you can get one to try, and play it - see if it resonates with you.
@@joebloggs24 ...Enjoyed reading your words and felt your passion and appreciation for Maton. I like to read the comments, as I feel...this is where answers can be written or questions asked.
Yes, I look forward to going into a music store, and playing one soon!
Thanks for taking your time to reply.
Good testimonial.👍
Kindness.
Your Maton has been well worn in! It sounds wonderful and you play it so well.
I am Australian and live not far from the Maton factory and own several highly collectable models. I actually own a Maton BB1200 which is amazing Best guitars ever. Never ever hesitate to purchase a Maton guitar. As Aussies say they are ‘true blue’ the best.
I love Matons - I have an ECW80-C (2001) and im actually getting a SRS70C-12 in a couple of months... I live in Melbourne :)
A Maton is very special, it`s love at second sight. But than it`s a keeper!
Wow...brilliant playing. The guitar tone is fantastic.
I love my Maton, this is beautiful and Andrea is a phenomenal player....
Andrea is a superb musician. Im so glad i discovered his music recently.
Yes, wonderful style
Im about to sell my Taylor 317e and will step into a Maton. Many thanks for a helpful and informative video 🙏
Well spoken and excellent demo. Makes you want to buy one!
I have ordered a Maton Artist from a music shop in Italy,..and I can't wait it!
If they’re good enough for Tommy Emmanuel, they’re good enough for anyone!
Please note that these are custom shop models, way above regular EBG808TE
Matons are great plugged in, shite unplugged
@@john-ob7bv Let's see, now...Tommy Emmanuel, Joe Robinson, Michael Fix, Andrea Valeri, Lari Basilio, Eric Johnson, Keith Urban, Neil Finn, Phil Palmer, Colin Hay, Luka Bloom, Michael Franti, Nick Charles, Adam Rafferty, Gareth Pearson, John Waite...to name just a few...all disagree with you
@@kevincrouch3956 They tend to plug in alot of the time. Matons are workhorses. I have a maton messiah 808 and I guarantee you nearly every guitar I tried out sounds better BUT doesn't feel as smooth to play. It's really why it's my favorite guitar even though it sounds quite "ehhhh" acoustically
@@vyvynylification It really boils down to opinion and taste, I don't believe it is inferior, just different.
My maton messiah 808 is my favorite guitar. Not a single guitar I tried (and I tried ALOT, even at triple the price) plays as smooth as my maton and that is why i like it. The sound is warm but bright enough to not be muddy, with fat highs and mids. Sure, acousically these lack bass, it's actually quite bad. It's not a great strummer either. If you don't care for plugged in sound, it's hard to recommend a maton to anyone, in my opinion. Yet, it's still my favorite guitar.
I have a maton ebg 808..and a 1981 maton Coolibah..they have different personalities..the coolabah is a sweetie..the 808 is my workhorse..
What a fabulous young man, you're a gem mate and sure can play that thing.
At least we have that great Aussie Brand still made here! I’ve got a few I love them! Thanks for the video! 👍
I live near Box Hill and have visited the Maton factory twice :)
Such an amazing place!!! ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Wow, great video, I'm impressed... you are very talented, God bless...
❤❤❤
So nice to find a guitar that suita you isnt it!
Sounds awesome!❤
That thing is amazing
Own one and love it!!!!
Brilliant salesman
Gentleman, Thanks
Hello Andrea and thanks for your video. Could you tell me the string spacing at the nut because I am 1.92 meters tall and that worries me because although I have thin and long fingers I may have problems. I don't think it would have them because the radius of 12 causes the spacing between strings to increase. And it also helps me that the string action is not high. I love this guitar but I would like to know the spacing at the nut because I think is very important. Whenever I try out a guitar I arpeggio the A major chord on the second fret and while I do it I play the lower strings above with my little finger; This way I check if I mute the high e string of the chord. I only know this way that the guitar doesn't suit me.
What is your opinion on a pickup system which mixes transducers (piezos mounted on the guitar top), not an undersaddle piezo, and a microphone in the body?
Thank you very much for your question my friend , there are some really good ones out there... but i still think that this combination that Maton uses, is not only a lovely sounding one but also the most reliable and solid option... when you're a touring artist, a session musician or even someone that really has to trust your guitar anytime... i suggest this as the best possible option ❤❤❤
Grazie per il video! Ho una SRS808 mi piacerebbe sapere come la equalizzeresti in termini di frequenze.
Grazie infinite a te per la domanda 🎉 Segui pure il video intero, perchè oltre alla mia chitarra ho analizzato tutto il settaggio proprio su una SRS808 come la tua ❤❤❤
That Maton Guitar has a greater but mello sound tone...
Ma questo che modello è?
Did you receive a free guitar or money ror video? Informed decision from knowledge
❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
100% endowment or dealership.....
Great player. Confusing video. You show how you adjust the 5 series preamp, but then never show how it sounds with the final adjustment you make. Instead playing the signature model with the different, earlier version preamp. I have to admit that I do not like the thin quacky piezo sound that you are getting from the system.
i hear these are the best plug in...but not very good acoustically
Must agree with your statement. Personally it took me over 6 months to adjust my ear to Maton's balanced and clean tone esp. after playing top of the line Martin acoustics. It was on a quieter side at first but after a while I understand that this is unique Maton's tone very soft and gentle
agreed@@SergeUnplugged
Mine sound great acoustically. Maybe not as loud acoustically as other brands but still plenty loud enough for my ears
@@SergeUnplugged I own and play both Martin's and Maton's. Maton's are not inferior in anyway unplugged...different, yes. But as all guitars produce different sounds...the Maton sound is different. I personally don't like the sound of Taylors, but I don't say they are inferior, just because of my personal preference.
OK plugged in. Not so unplugged.
Great both plugged and unplugged, that's why they are the choice of so many leading fingerstyle guitarists.
@@kevincrouch3956 Experiences and opinions differ. I wanted a Maton until I played a few.
