Maton EMBW-6 Mini Acoustic Electric Guitar w/Case - Blackwood

Simplicity and purity of tone lay at the heart of the Blackwood range of Guitars. Pure Blackwood tone - clear, bright trebles, strong midrange and full bass. The all Blackwood construction produces a unique compression, blending frequencies into a new, unique voice.

The Maton Mini series now feature a split bridge for improved intonation!

It's no secret that shorter-scale instruments are harder to keep in tune than their longer-scale cousins. This is especially true when shorter-scale instruments are tuned the same as the longer scale variations. The reason for this is the lower tension in the string and deflection and stretching when the string is pressed onto the fingerboard. We can use heavier strings to try to compensate for the tension, but the trade-off is a reduction in audible upper partial harmonics, which is where much of the magic of tone is generated. In other words, the tone becomes less interesting and more fundamental.
