THE DREADNOUGHT
Made from a single piece of AAA Victorian Blackwood from the Maton Guitar Custom Shop, and a piece of Murray River Red Gum salvaged from the stumps of a 120 year old Footscray cottage, the Dreadnought stands an impressive 490 mm tall and is topped by a coronet of American Rock Maple. It is named after Maton's Custom Shop Dreadnought guitars.

Australian Blackwood is highly sought after as a tone wood by luthiers world-wide and I was lucky to source this timber from Maton's collection. Thanks to my mate Tony Woods for the Red Gum stumps!
