Vincent BarrasShare
The Maton EM525C Acoustic-Electric Guitar combines Maton’s renowned Australian craftsmanship with a powerful dreadnought cutaway design that delivers strong projection, clear articulation and rich acoustic warmth. Built with a solid spruce top and Queensland maple back and sides, it produces a balanced tone with excellent clarity, while the Maton AP5 pickup system provides natural amplified sound and detailed onboard tone shaping for stage or studio use. Produced in the early 2000s during a period when Maton was refining its modern acoustic designs, this model reflects the brand’s long tradition of Australian-made instruments celebrated for their distinctive tone, quality timbers and trusted performance.
