Item History & Price

Information:
Reference Number: Avaluer:345385
Original Description:
This original Maton Slenderline DC 545 was made in Melbourne circa 1966 and is in excellent condition, showing no signs of hard wear or being on the road. The serial number on the Maton label inside the body reads 895. The figured maple body finished in cherry nitrocellulose lacquer shows no marks, dings or playing wear front or back. The guitar has set-neck construction together with - as originally built - a small neck plate.  The neck is straight and the action low. I...t has a 42 mm nut width with a slim C shape profile, dark rosewood fingerboard and no dings or marks on the back of the neck. Frets are original and in good shape with minimal wear. The headstock and logo are both in excellent condition. The truss rod works correctly and as mentioned the current set up gives a smooth low action.  The deep double cut design provides excellent access to all 22 frets. The only changed hardware is the more recent tulip button Kluson style tuner set,   The two original single coil pickups provide classic 60s tones. One of Maton's coolest design features is the 3-way pickup selector ‘mini gearstick’ located under the edge of the pick guard.  The original pinned bridge, tailpiece, knobs, pots, strap buttons etc are all in place.  This is a very fine, resonant semi-hollow vintage Maton that plays and sounds as good as it looks, and at 2.6kg, it's a featherweight gigging guitar, an ES335 alternative and becoming rare to find in this pristine condition.  Comes with the blue-lined black case of the era as shown in photos.I will pack well and ship to most places worldwide at buyer's expense, just get in touch for a quote to your location rather than referring to the eBay shipping info.  Feel free to get in touch with any queries.
