Just bought my first 808TE I am so impressed. It fills the room so well.

I absolutely love Maton and the guitars they have built over the years. I only have one Maton, which is the MS500, but I have played one other Maton which was the SRS60C. I think I may have to use just Maton now because of how amazing they are!

My main acoustic has been the EM-6 for around 5 years now and I agree with everything you say. The sound is huge for such a little beast, the pick up is just incredible! I'll only buy Maton guitars now My back doesnt hurt ans is a real easy guitar to play. It's just so alive and make looping beats etc on it pretty easy. I used to play a dreadnaught Taylor and i'd find dead spots all over it plus generally i'd have to sit down. All the best from the UK.

I picked up my EM6 a couple of years ago (I reckon shortly after they were released). Best guitar I've ever owned, especially for looping, but mainly just because when you knock out one of your 6/7 hour sets, it doesn't feel like you've got a truck hanging off your shoulders. Good review man!

Sounds beautiful, I have a Taylor 317e and have not taken to the ES2 pick up and will look at selling my Taylor and buying a mini Maton.

Great video. My sentiments exactly! I have a Taylor k22ce 12 fret, in Koa the I absolutely LOVE..until I plug in it to perform live. I'm always left wanting with the pick ups and sound in general. I mic it to record but don't plug in.
Then I got a Maton Mini Diesel - it's a whole different world! it is my go to live/plugged in guitar for performing now. LOVE IT!
Quick question for you; you are playing the EMBW6 in this vid. how do you compare with the Mini Diesel?
thanks in advance

Great video mate. My main acoustic is a Maton ER90C dreadnought. I’ve had it for just over ten years now and it’s a cannon. I also own the all Blackwood mini Maton 12 string. You are spot on about the sound of the mini. The overall acoustic sound is amazing and I don’t reckon you could find a better preamp. To me, the twelve string version is even more unique. Depending on my needs I string it as a 12, a 9 for sweet fingerpicking and a 6 if I need to play aggressive chord stuff. Three guitars in one, light as a feather and so easy to play!

About to pull the trigger on a EMD6. Good review.

Hi.... I was just wondering what differences there might be between the Maton Mini and the Ebw 808 plugged in? I'm heading to Australia soon and was thinking that the Mini was what I'll be taking home, but now I'm leaning towards the 808. Can you enlighten me at all?
Cheers mate 😊👍

For over 44 years I have played Ovation 12 & 6, these guitars are all I know. However, at 63 I neither have the dexterity or the desire to keep sweating the fretboard & therefore after a recent purchase of a short scale bass guitar, I wondered, maybe I should explore short scale acoustic guitars, & this search has led me to the Maton mini, specifically the Maton Diesel. Your vid has confirmed that this crazy idea of mine is not so crazy. Thank you!!

Australian made for the world stage without a doubt. I have a performer & acoustically the sound isn't there like a jumbo but plugged in it comes alive.. The AP5 Pro is a total game changer.

If i want to do percussion and smash on my guitar to create a beat loop, can I use both microphone and piezo. What would you do?

hi mate! what's the difference between the Maton emd6 diesel special and the Maton mini that you have?

Didn't need to watch this video to be convinced. Carl Wockner plays one and his sound is amazing live and in all of his videos. I was amazed to find out from him that he literally does hardly anything to eq his instrument. I think he'll roll off a little high end but that's about it just good natural tone. Nice comprehensive job on the video though!

I was trying out gs minis and Marin dr juniors when this little Blackwood beauty stood out other side of the room like a pretty chick that catches your eye. I’m not normally a fan of maton, I have a maton full size and it’s nice but not my sound. But this little thing, one of the best feeling and looking guitars I’ve ever seen. All parts are top quality, all solid, loads of detail, hard case as well, and the sound is only going to get better and better. For bumming around home on the couch whatever, perfect for picking up and jamming, I am really contemplating doubling my spend and getting one over the Martin’s and Taylor’s. (Martin dr jr was also very good). I’m not a performer and not very good, I play for myself just for fun and the challenge of learning albeit slowly), but proffesional or not, that mini maton Blackwood I can’t stop thinking about. It would definitely count as a definite family heirloom piece

I'm thinking of getting one as I'm very recently getting sore thumb and fingers on my older maton ( hopefully not arthritis, but wonder if this will help!?)
