Maton EM-6 Mini Acoustic-Electric Guitar
Everything that was great about the EML6 is to be found on the EM. Solid Qld Maple back and sides have replaced the old laminated Qld Maple. This brings a fuller, richer tone which will improve even further over time as the wood learns to vibrate to its full potential.
Add to this the new Double X Bracing now found across the entire Mini range as well as Maton’s “Original” AP5 pickup system and you have a real winning combination.
Greater tone, improved structural integrity and a perfectly matched pickup system….

PLEASE NOTE: Models produced after June 2024 will be using a Bunya Pine top instread of Spruce, please see statement from Maton copied below:
Effective July 2024, the following Maton models will transition from their current spruce (Picea) soundboard models to Bunya Pine (Araucaria bidwillii). This applies to the EM-6, S60 & SRS60C models. Throughout our long history (est. 1946) we at Maton have continuously endeavoured to source, test and pioneer the use of locally sourced sustainable timbers. In the late 1990’s this process led us to successfully pioneering the use of Bunya Pine. Indeed, to this day we successfully use bunya on the Performer as well as Australian series guitars.
In furthering this strategy of increasing the Australian component throughout our range, we are transitioning the above models to Bunya soundboards. In arriving at this decision, many elements of our business and those related were considered. We have always pursued a consistent strategy of, where possible, sourcing local product that is sustainable and encourages the use of Australian labour, whilst not compromising our high quality. We believe this transition is true to all of these deliverables and importantly, reduces the impact of the ongoing trend being encountered in the sustainable sourcing of imported tonewoods including Spruce.
