Maton Guitars 75th Anniversary Diamond Edition - 16335

 

From our friends in Melbourne:  "To celebrate 75 five years of continuous guitar production in Melbourne, Australia we decided to produce a guitar that showcased the best design and construction we could bring to a guitar, as well as to celebrate the tone woods we love and cherish. We’ve produced a number of excellent celebratory guitars recently, particularly the 70th anniversary models and the Vera May centenary model, so we wanted this one to really stand out.

     We are also entering into a new and exciting era in Maton’s history as another group of Maton luthiers enter their second decade of guitar making. These talented young craftspeople are adding to the work of our older, more experienced hands to consistently create instruments that are the best Maton has ever produced, and the world is taking note!

     In recent years we have explored new shapes, materials and specifications through research and development in conjunction with the Maton Custom Shop and the passion and drive of Custom Shop luthier, Andy Allen. Many of our recent production models have benefited from that work. We wanted this 75th Anniversary model to showcase all of this work.

     For some time, we have been looking for an acoustic guitar tone that falls somewhere between the big sound of the dreadnought and the brighter, focused sound of the 808 series. Meanwhile we were making and developing the Custom Shop ‘Traditional’ series, which at 502mm long and 390mm wide is 23mm longer and 24mm wider than an 808, but still smaller than a dreadnought. These guitars have filled the gap between our two main body shapes brilliantly, so it made sense to look to the Traditional body shape as a starting point for this new guitar.

     Victorian Blackwood and Queensland Maple have been at the center of our guitar making identity for decades. In the case of Queensland Maple, back to the very start in 1946. It was obvious that we would need to incorporate these woods in this anniversary model. Both are sustainably harvested in Queensland and out home state of Victoria. Both woods have played and enormous role in our past and will continue to do so as our guitars are played all over the world. They both have a unique and beautiful tone, something we’ve known for years but something the rest of the guitar world is discovering for themselves..

     We set the bar really high with our 70th Anniversary models in 2016, and higher still with the wonderful Vera May model in 2019. We needed to go further still with this guitar so much consideration was given to what goes on “under the hood”. The use of forward positioned scalloped soundboard bracing, combined with a re-scaled laser cut Blackwood bridge plate (designed to reduce bridge rotation and enhance mid-range response) results in a perfectly balanced tonal output, where no frequency dominates at the expense of another. The four arched braces on the back have been positioned to allow the back to reflect the lower mid-range frequencies providing the full, rich mid-range associated with the best of this style of acoustic guitar. The use of AAA Sitka Spruce (or Lutz) for the soundboard provide the subtle overtones and fast dynamic response one expects from the best steel string acoustic guitars.

     Because this is a new body shape for Maton (at a production level) new side benders, body molds, bracing templates and so on have been produced, each incorporating our most recent techniques in the art of guitar production. These are critical in ensuring the smooth progress of each build, so important in determining the final tone and playability of each guitar. Many of the improvements in this equipment have come through the involvement of our emerging luthiers, craftspeople who have been working at their craft long enough to be masters, but who are still young and enthusiastic enough to bring fresh perspectives to their craft.

     The fingerboard and bridge are made of A grade ebony. We have gained a considerable amount of experience working with ebony as a result of the recent CITES regulations around Indian Rosewood. We employ advanced drying and seasoning technology that ensures the ebony is perfectly stable and tonally responsive by the time we use it as a bridge or fingerboard. The look, sound and feel of ebony works beautifully in conjunction with the Queensland Maple neck and Blackwood back and sides. The fingerboard is inlaid with Mother of Pearl dots. We resisted the temptation to over dress the fingerboard, preferring elegant simplicity as part of the design.
The ebony headstock is adorned with a seven-piece gold or black Mother of Pearl inlay of a diamond. The diamond represents 75 years, the “diamond anniversary”. It also has a keyhole at the top of the headstock. This keyhole was first introduced on our “Messiah” range in 1977 and has since become a well known feature on many guitars in our upper range. 

     The back and sides are made from “AA” grade Victorian Blackwood. They have a degree of figure through them but not so much as to be the main feature of the guitar. There is a school of thought that “straight” Blackwood is superior from a tonal point of view. We are not necessarily convinced of this but given that tone is of paramount importance in this guitar we think slight figure is the right balance.

     The 95mm sound hole is adorned with a herringbone rosette and inner and outer rings. This is a classic Maton look and we feel is perfect for this guitar. The body is bound with rock maple outer and herringbone inner binding. Once again, a classic Maton look, one we have used for many years on our EBG808 Artist model.

     The whole guitar is finished in our high gloss finish and has a vintage amber sunburst soundboard and vintage amber back sides and neck. The finish pulls all the pieces together aesthetically and is also super thin, allowing the guitar to shine tonally from it’s very first strum.

     The 75th Anniversary is fitted with open back Grover machine heads, firstly because they look cool, and secondly because their reduced weight helps balance the guitar perfectly. This guitar sits at just the right angle to be played."

It smells as good as my cologne.
I never go out without a shot of Guerlain L'Homme Idéal L'Intense cologne. Guerlain does not offer a layered line of products with similar scents. I wanted a deodorant and body wash to match. None of the Old Spice scents came close. Axe Oud Wood & Dark Vanilla antiperspirant has more vanilla and is a bit subdued but works. Finding a body wash was harder. Cremo Spice & Black Vanilla Body Wash sounded promising, but I was apprehensive about its scent including tobacco. I did not want to smell like an ashtray. But when I opened the bottle, I was met with a surprising scent from the past. I immediately recognized it as premium Danish pipe tobacco. Most people do not recognize this aromatic scent as coming from tobacco at all. In fact, it smells more like fresh cured tobacco itself, not its smoke. This adds a very pleasant and masculine smell to the body wash on top of the spice, wood, and vanilla scent I was searching for. The scent only lasts a few hours after you rinse off. One push on the dispenser puts enough soap on a shower loofah to wash your whole body. I do not rinse off my loofah; I squeeze the soap out of it to wash my face, then I place it back in its tray next to the bottle. The scent of the remaining soap acts like incense until my next shower. I was also pleasantly surprised to find that this body soap has a rich lather and cleans as well as advertised. I had forgotten the reason I bought the body soap until I used it.

Intoxicating Smell!
My 'old' shower gel was getting dangerously low prompting a search for a replacement. I looked over recommendations of various sources including Amazon which led me to this Cremo product. Over the years I've purchased just a handful of products that were either colognes, soaps of various types, or aftershaves, which really stood out for their intoxicating scent. Additionally, they might have had the incredible ability to have a lasting effect of several hours. These products stood out in a way that they also were noticed by the people around me, commenting on the great odor and inquiring as to what it was. This Cremo product is in that category. The first time I used it clearly put it in that rare product list. Additionally, some of the other qualities of this product that others have commented on I have found to be true. A little goes a long way! You don't need to use nearly as much as some other products that I've had in order to get it to effectively wash body or hair. It truly does leave a soft feeling after using. I didn't realize how big the container would be when I purchased it, however can now say after a few weeks of using it, this is going to last me a long time! And I'm definitely pleased about that. I guess you can say that there are definitely other less-expensive products out there, but when you consider how well this product performs, it's a great buy! If you're currently reading this, examining products for yourself, wondering if this one is for you....hesitate no longer. When this container runs out....it's definitely going to be a long while....I will definitely buy it again.

Warm base of vanilla, with a bit of spice to keep things interesting! Definitely a keeper!
First, I need to admit that Cremo is one of my “go to” brands for body wash. I love the fact that the scents are high-quality without getting into the weird “axe” arena of being able to be smelled a mile away. The body wash has a fresh, warm, earthy smell to it. Vanilla base with a bit of spice to not make it smell like a sugar cookie. I think you all know those body washes that are just too heavy with the vanilla smell. The price for this level of body wash is spot on for what you get from a quality, moisturizing, and skin care perspective. It doesn’t dry out your skin and even the deep rich color of the gel screams quality. This is a really great new scent from Cremo and one that I’d definitely come back to and keep in my rotation.

Good product but smell doesn't last
Cleans and rinses great, does not dry out your skin. Smell great, not as strong as the Italian Bergamot, nor does it last after showering. Once you dry off, smell pretty much gone. Bergamot lasts a little better

Beyond my expectations…
Scent: Incredible 10/10. The entire shower smells like a spa afterwards. Woody notes, vanilla scent is deliciously heavy and warm, and even one pump delivers a punch of fresh vanilla scent to your entire body. I’m a woman who is in love with heavy earthy scents and this is it! P.S it also matches well with scents like vanilla, cocoa butter, chocolate, or even delicious “smore” scents! I pair it with vanilla and cocoa butter scented deodorant, vanilla perfume, or vanilla body lotion and it works amazing! Longevity: Lasts the entire day if I’m staying home just relaxing, not working out or sweating very much. I could shower in the early morning and by the time my head hits the pillow I still smell it faintly! If I’m out and about it still lasts hours I’d estimate around 6-8 hours before the scent fades! If I shower at 6am, come home at 5pm-6pm after work I still smell fresh! (I always shower 2x a day but you don’t even need to with this! Value for Money/Size: Oh absolutely! I think I bought this soap two weeks ago? Used it nearly every day, and you can’t even tell! One pump is enough, two pumps MAX per shower per day. I decided to lavish myself by buying this soap, because it’s a bit more pricey. But it’s actually saving me more money, at this rate I’ll be buying another one of these every 3 months! So that’s…4 times a year? 5 max? That’s incredible. I’ll probably stick with Cremo for life honestly. And I’m a woman!💕🎀
