The Maton ER 90 Traditional is the result of a combination of three sources of inspiration: the ER 90C, the 75th Anniversary Traditional model and the custom shop CS Classic. It combines the performance and design elements of the 75th Traditional with the rosewood back and sides as well as the satin finish of the ER90C and the slimmer body depth of the CS Classic.
The result is a guitar with a small body and a full, bell-like sound. Due to the shallower body depth (the body is 10 mm thinner than the 75th Anniversary), there is no lack of bass, as the depth is balanced by the incredibly rich bass produced by the rosewood bottom and sides. The shallower body depth also allows for a little more focus in front of the guitar, making it a brilliant recording instrument.
Visually, the ER90 Traditional has adopted its look from its older brother, the ER90C. These include multi-volume interior binding, white exterior binding, mahogany neck, ebony fretboard and bridge , and ebony headstock veneer. The mahogany neck provides tone and stability, while the ebony fretboard and bridge complement the rich bass of the rosewood back and sides with a little sparkle in the treble range.
The ceiling bracing is fully scalloped and incorporates the laser-cut web plate originally developed for the 75th Anniversary model to increase strength and reduce weight .
This is a wonderful guitar suitable for all playing styles, from light fingerstyle to heavy strumming, and of course it features Maton's brilliant AP5 Pro pickup system, making the ER90 Traditional absolutely unbeatable on stage....
