Maton Guitars EM100C-808 Messiah Cutaway - 16994

A beauty to look at and a masterpiece when played. - The Maton EM100-808 Messiah is a guitar icon in Australia, and features a tried and true tone-wood 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

The Maton AP5-Pro Electronics

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 600Hz to 2.4kHz 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.

Great Bag
Color: Brown
Okay I was hesitant on buying this bag. Finally did it. I can say OMG this bag is everything. I have recently started to love carrying the backpack bags as everyday bags. The one I have is a little big so looking for a smaller one. This one is more medium size with plenty of pockets. The color was beautiful. It seems it will hold up for a while.

Perfection, Or Close to It
Color: Black
I absolutely love this bag! Now that my child is a toddler, I’ve found it easiest to combine my purse and diaper bag into one bag. I no longer need to lug around a huge diaper bag full of bottles, blankets, etc., but I did need enough room to store toddler essentials (a few diapers, a changing pad, wipes, diaper cream, snacks, snack, and more snacks, medicine, a couple of wash cloths, and a toy) plus my essentials (wallet, keys, lotion, lip balm, eye drops, kindle). This has room enough for all of those things without it being an oversized purse or a full sized backpack. A lot of purses will state that they have a lot of different compartments, but the compartments won’t be a size that makes it actually useful, but this purse is different. Each compartment is spacious. Plus, the compartment on the back that’s a secure place for your phone or wallet is actually big enough to store things without having to squeeze it in! If I could give this purse 6 stars, I would. My only qualm is wishing the straps were a different material so that they wouldn’t readjust the size so easily. But if you slide the metal part up toward the decorative leather part of the strap, the leather adds friction and stops it from sliding down.

Beautiful Color
Color: Green
This was a very nice purse. It seemed to be of good quality and I loved the color. I did return it because it was just too big for my tastes and needs. I loved the functionality of it with all the pockets, but didn't want to carry around a backpack sized purse. I would recommend it for anyone who likes large purses. Seller was wonderful to work with.
