I have had this beauty for 6 months now and I have been playing it acoustically as well as plugged in during live gigs with my band. I was looking for one high quality electro-acoustic guitar for several months already and I was not looking actually this guitar in a first place. I contacted Thomann customer centre to ask their opinion about another brand and I just can not find enough good words how professional and fast they always are in order to help you out, recommend etc. This beauty was introduced to me by the customer centre. It was way out of my budget but still I read some reviews that I found on internet. Thomann also sent me some pictures of my new guitar and I wanted to buy it immediately. Decision was made and it was shipped really fast. My beauty arrived within a week and when I opened this amazing hardcase it comes with I was blown away how beautiful it really is. Very nice outside build finish and craftmanship. The action of the strings was quite good out of the box but after some months I handed it over to specialist who lowered the action and now it is just superb. The feel, the playability is just amazing, I love it ! It sounds really, really good. Amazing sound I would say although it is not as loud as my previous guitar unplugged. When you plug it in it just sings in your hands, amazing pickup that Maton creates by themselves. The battery lasts also quite a while in the pickup. I have also Maton feedback buster cover but I never needed it as I have not yet experienced any issues with feedback. I took one star away from the quality because of inside build finish of the instrument. In this price range it should be absolutely flawless in my opinion also from inside and masterpiece like Maton states on their web page but there is quite some excess glue sticking out between lining in many places and I was quite surprised when I saw it, in even much cheaper acoustic guitars the inside build finish is better. I took pictures and sent to Maton, they replied to me that they will pay more attention to inside build finish in the future. Do not worry at all, It does not affect the sound and overall quality of the instrument and it does not bother me anymore. If you are looking for on solid wood masterpiece, then this is it. It surely is an Investment for a life !
