Maton - Redwood Mini RM6

Maton - Redwood Mini RM6Redwood Mini RM6Redwood and Tasmanian MyrtleThough it is a lot smaller than a standard dreadnought, this guitar packs a punch well above its weight.This model features a Solid Redwood top, Tasmanian Myrtle back and sides, with the AP5 PRO pickup system, chrome Grover machine heads, and Natural satin finish.With the introduction of the Redwood Series, Maton has found a new voice in the world of acoustic guitars.There is something magical in the tone produced by the combination of the Redwood (Sequoia Sempervirens) soundboard and Tasmanian Myrtle (Nothofagus Cunninghamii) back and sides. The Redwood is plantation grown and sustainably harvested from the Otway Ranges in Victoria, the Myrtle from our longstanding supplier in Tasmania, who also provides us with the timber to build the Joe Robinson Signature model. Tonally, Redwood can be compared to Western Red Cedar, but there is a stronger treble presence and dynamic response than typically found in Cedar. Tasmanian Myrtle (or Tassie Myrtle as we Aussies call it) has a smooth, Maple like tone, and when combined with Redwood seems to add a little extra warmth and sustain to the overall tone of the instrument. The result is intriguing. The tone coming from these guitars is complex. All the frequencies we expect are present, but there is something more going on as well. The blend of overtones and the dynamic response to slight variations in playing technique, offer new possibilities to the player. This is a guitar that is hard to put down.“What started as a travel guitar has become a staple for me on stage. No other acoustic has the focus and projection of my Mini Maton, and having less bulk is liberating too!” – DieselGuitar Name: Redwood MiniSeries Name: Mini GuitarsProduct Code: RM-6Body Shape: MiniFace: RedwoodBack And Sides: Tasmanian MyrtleSoundhole Diameter: 90mmNeck: Queensland MapleFingerboard And Bridge: Streaky EbonyBracing: Mini Maton Double XFace Inlay Rosette: SINGLE 5 PLY BWBWBBinding: 5ply purfling/Black ABSScale Length: 22.7"Fretwire: Jescar FW43080 - 217Number Of Frets: 19Fretboard Radius: 12"Nut Width: 1.736" - 1 47/64"14th Fret Width: 2.165" - 2 11/65Fingerboard Inlays: 6mm Pearl DotsBack And Sides Finish: Satin/NaturalTop Finish: Satin/NaturalBridge Pins: Ivory ABSMachine Heads: Chrome Grover RotomaticPickguard: BlackEnd Pin Strap: ChromeNut And Saddle: BoneGuitar Case: Standard Mini HardcasePickup: AP5 PROStrings: Elixir Nanoweb Phospher Bronze 13 - 56
