Description
Damn rare Maton Jumbo 12 String. This is an F150 from 1981. I don't know how many of these were made, but this is the first one that I have seen. Like a classic Guild Jumbo 12 string, there is something really cool about a 12 with a larger body. The sound is full and rich. Neck is still nice and straight, thankfully the previous owner stored this guitar properly and so there is no lifting of the bridge or belly to the top. Action is low, neck set is still good, but the saddle is about as low as it can be at the moment with further adjustment requiring a neck reset. Finish still has a nice sheen, gloss to it, there is some finish crazing, but no repairs of any sort. Check out the Gibsonesque red, Dove style back and sides. It's a beautiful 12 string, with a very unique sound, that just happens to have been made right here in Melbourne..Comes with the original hard shell case. #581.
