Buying a Maton guitar? Beware of the hidden faults

[oakenclient]

I love my EM325C, it's a 1994 model and it's perfect. I am very lucky to have it.

Hey mate,

I own one of the new S70 models without a pickup
I have recently discovered a timber plate glued on the inside of the guitar where the piezo routing would’ve been
It didn’t really bother me too much as I do like the guitar just found it odd
And then I came across your video about the bridge lifting
Would you say all tops including models without pickups like mine are routed for that AP1 pickup?
Making the bridge prone to lifting?
Please let me know if you’ve had any experience with the S60/S70 no pickup models regarding this issue
Cheers for looking out for us
Wosky

I have an identical looking guitar, an M400 - fantastic guitars

You better tell Tommy Emanual about this problem.

Don't the "newer" model Matons screw the pickup box directly underside to the bridge, through the soundboard. Engineering also dictates that a 6" block isn't going to come through the tiniest of holes drilled to put the bolts in.

Thanks for telling me how to pronounce the name
