Sorry Waz, I missed your question about the Maton.
This was my first guitar. I purchased it in '95 for $1,300 including hard case, and had been my only guitar until 2015 when I bought the 8-String Ibanez sitting next to it. Then I came across you lot last year, and now my collection has doubled!

The Maton is a EM725C, which is supposedly a special edition model produced for the "World of Music" chain of music stores.
I contacted Maton about this guitar a couple of years ago to find out what was so special about it, but it's basically the same as a stock standard EM325C. It's a standard Dreadnought sized acoustic with the AP5 pickup system installed. It does look larger than a standard Dread, but that may be the angle it's sitting on. Just to add to this, the Ibanez sitting next to it has a slightly larger lower bout than the Maton, even though it doesn't look like it!

I'm surprised with how the two sides of the top have changed colour over the years considering they are normally book-matched at the factory.
