AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
The Maton EM100C-808 Messiah Acoustic Electric Guitar is a true testament to fine craftsmanship and exceptional tone. Part of the prestigious Messiah Series, this guitar blends the best materials available, featuring a solid "AAA" grade spruce top paired with Indian rosewood back and sides. The upgraded scalloped bracing and solid mahogany neck work in harmony to produce a rich, full-bodied sound with excellent tonal projection. The 808 body shape with a cutaway offers superior comfort and accessibility to higher frets, making it an ideal choice for both lead players and those who appreciate a well-rounded, dynamic acoustic performance.
Redesigned in 2012 to elevate its sound and aesthetics, the EM100C-808 stands out with its stunning herringbone rosette and intricate maple pinstripe binding. The UV gloss finish adds a refined touch, providing a sleek and durable coating that enhances the guitar's natural tone. Its powerful AP5-Pro pickup system ensures that the guitar’s rich acoustic voice is faithfully amplified, offering both live players and studio musicians a versatile tool for performance. The “M” Mother of Pearl decal on the headstock highlights Maton’s commitment to quality and adds an elegant touch to this world-class instrument.
The Maton EM100C-808 is not just about looks and tone; it's designed for durability and playability, making it a joy for musicians at any level. The combination of a thinner back, rounded design, and ultra-thin finish allows for greater resonance and projection, making this a guitar that truly stands out. Whether you're performing on stage or recording in the studio, this model delivers a sonic experience that’s hard to beat. The Maton deluxe hardshell case ensures that your Messiah guitar stays safe and protected when not in use, making it the ultimate instrument for musicians who demand the best.

An absolute dream guitar. Could not be happier with the purchase! The sound is amazing, and the overall finish is just superb. Many thanks to Dan for helping me with this online purchase. It’s the second Maton I have purchased through the Acoustic Centre, and both guitars received have been perfection. This one looks great next to the EA80C :) I highly recommend Acoustic Centre!
An amazing guitar in every way. Third maton from you guys, service and knowledge is second to none. Thanks
The experience with The Acoustic Centre, 1st class as always. The guitar, I love it. The finish and tone are exceptional. I was nervous about the neck's gloss finish, but after I played it, I couldn't put it down.
Fantastic Great Service Thanks Mick
i took a risk when i purchased this guitar over the phone im glad i did to my ears this guitar is the best sounding ive played the neck is comfortable and the body shape sits well as for the build and pick up again well done im very lucky
Ever since I first laid eyes in this guitar in matons catalogue I fell in love with the specs. The parlour style guitar is awesome when standing up or sitting down, not too much bulk there. And with its awesome tone is a delight to play amped up through the AP5 pro pickup, or Just acoustically. The fret is amazing and I love to wrap my fingers around this solid neck and play for hours.
