Fresh off the press Maton have announced a brand new premium model that crosses the Maton Custom Shop concept with the CS classic design and the very popular 75th Anniversary models. We especially like the use of sumptuous high quality carefully selected Rosewood in this guitars back and sides paired with a versatile Spruce top. We have been told that we will receive the very first version into the UK and we hope it will be with us very soon. The Maton ER90 is a small bodied guitar with a full tonal response that rings like a bell. There is no lack of bass due to the thinner body depth (the body is 10mm thinner than the 75th Anniversary body) as the depth is offset by the incredible rich bass produced by the rosewood back and sides. The reduced body depth also provides a little more focus in front of the guitar which will make it a brilliant recording instrument as well as being perfect out on stage.
The Mato ER90 incorporates the bracing and design elements of the 75th Traditional, along with the rosewood back and sides and satin finish of the ER90C and thinner body depth of the CS Classic. The result is a small bodied guitar with a full tonal response that rings like a bell. There is no lack of bass due to the thinner body depth (the body is 10mm thinner than the 75th Anniversary body) as the depth is offset by the incredible rich bass produced by the rosewood back and sides. The reduced body depth also provides a little more focus in front of the guitar which will make it a brilliant recording instrument.
Visually, the ER90 Traditional has borrowed its look from its older brother the ER90C, which includes multi banded inner binding, white outer binding, a mahogany neck, streaky ebony fingerboard and bridge, and a streaky ebony headstock veneer. The mahogany neck provides tone and stability and the ebony board and bridge add a little top end brightness to complement the rich bass of the rosewood back and sides.
The top bracing is fully scalloped and includes the laser cut bridge plate originally developed for the 75th Anniversary model, designed to increase strength without adding weight. This is a wonderful guitar that will suit all styles of playing, from light fingerstyle to full blown strumming, and of course it is fitted with Maton's brilliant AP5 Pro pickup system which will make the ER90 Traditional an absolute weapon on stage.
