Maton Alver 1966

Maton Alver 1966

This Maton single-cut 16″ wide 4″ deep laminated arch top guitar is a strong, light, resonant and versatile vintage semi acoustic. The asymmetric headstock shape and pencilled Batch Number (B.168) on the interior label places it in the mid-1960s. At 4lbs 5oz the light weight gives a lively voice acoustically and with its (Martin-style non-adjustable) steel truss rod fitted, the neck is strong and straight; action is low and frets are 95%.  The neck set, nut, bridge, tailpiece, and tuners are all in excellent original and functional condition & the original pickguard is in the original Stamford had case. This guitar is very playable acoustically, while the contemporary Gretsch fretboard-end pickup with vol &  tone controls provides very useable electric options for jazz, blues or rockabilly!
