Maton EBG808c MICHAEL FIX SIGNATURE Acoustic Guitar (SPECIAL ORDER)

Description

Maton EBG808c MICHAEL FIX SIGNATURE Acoustic Guitar

The Michael Fix signature model was developed with Michael and is designed to complement his playing style.

The signature guitar of guitar maestro Michael Fix.

The combination of “AAA Select” Grade Spruce soundboard, Ebony fingerboard and bridge, solid Queensland Maple back, sides and neck produces a tone that is rich, full, well balanced with glassy highs that are essential to Michael’s tone.

Bill May founded Maton in 1946. Maton’s name is derived from the words “May” and “Tone”. Until the mid-1930s Australian industrial manufacturing guitars were virtually non-existent. Good quality guitars were hard to find and at this time the best guitars were in the United States. Melbourne-born jazz musician, teacher and luthier Bill May decided to change all that. During the early 1940s Bill established a custom guitar manufacturing and repair company called “Maton Violin Making and Repairs”. In March 1946, Bill and his brother Reg launched Maton Corporate Musical Instruments, the opening of Australia’s first major violin maker based in Canterbury, Melbourne, in 1949. Maton now has a new modern facility in the Melbourne suburb. Maton is still a 100% family business.
