So this arrives today, a 20th anniversary present from my amazing wife, a Maton EBW70c Blackwood Dreadnought.
What a stunning thing! And the smell! Its incredible. Sounds so full , really comfortable to play, a great balance to the sound too. The feel of the wood and the build is spot on.
Beautiful, happy NGD 
Ooh.
Aah.
Oh my.
What a glorious guitar Rob. I wish you every joy as you and your Maton make music together.
I made similar sounds as I browsed the photos @Richard_close2u but didn’t know how to translate them into English. You da man 
Hi Rob,
Happy NGD 
Looking awesome
Greetings,Rogier
Blackwood has such a beautiful texture and grain. That’s a magnificent looking instrument
Hi Rob, happy NGD and congrats on anniversary. The maton looks awesome.
Gorgeous Maton!
I’ve seen a ton of video’s, including about this one.
It has such a clear articulation without sounding edgy or anything; it really sounds as good as it looks 
Amazing wife you have
Happy NGD Rob and happy 20th anniversary. What a sexy looking guitar that is. I hope you get many years of pleasure from it.
OMG, that is absolutely gorgeous! Nice book matching and a lovely looking back showing some of the heart wood!
Blackwood is of the Acacia family which also includes Koa (which can only be sourced from Hawaii); but they have very similar sonic characteristics. It’s going to sound absolutely fabulous, an amazing manufacturer plus an amazing material, you’re a very lucky fella!
Enjoy it and above all do it justice, oh and we absolutely must hear it!
Thanks everyone!
It’s so gorgeous, attention to detail is incredible.
I played just about everything in a few shops, Gibson, Martin etc and a maton 70c but not the Blackwood. There was a Blackwood something (808?) loved the look and tone.
Just fitted my hands way better than any of the others. Been smashing out6some green day this afternoon 
What a beaut! Happy NGD.
Wow, a very nice guitar. Congratulations.
Have you named it yet??? That’s half the fun of a new guitar, working out it’s name
Stunning Rob, can’t wait to hear how that sounds!
Have an amazing NGD 
Don’t believe the hype guys-
Dude’s an expert photographer and only makes it look desirable with lens/filter trickery 
Haha, only kidding. Looks a beaut and even had me checking out a video to check the sound.
The crown in an already impressive stable. Oh yes, nice stand btw.
Congratulations.
But even more importantly-
Happy anniversary
Looks stunning, happy NGD!
Wow! Lovely! And happy anniversary!
No, no name yet!
