1970 Maton Sapphire Deluxe 303/6 – Violin Burst (Three Pickup)
Here’s a rare slice of Australian guitar history – a 1970 Maton Sapphire Deluxe 303/6 in striking Violin Burst. This model features the highly sought-after three pickup configuration and delivers that unmistakable Maton tone — warm, rich, and full of vintage character.
This guitar is in very good condition for its age and plays beautifully. The neck feels great in the hand, and the pickups offer a versatile range of sounds, from smooth cleans to biting vintage growl.
Other features include:
- Gorgeous figured timber front and back
- Comfortable and well-balanced design
- Original electronics and hardware (except for the machine heads, which have been replaced)
While the machine heads are non-original, everything else remains factory spec, making it a solid example of early 70s Australian craftsmanship. It doesn’t come with a hard case — the one pictured is for photo purposes only — but it will be packed safely and securely.
Whether you’re a collector, a player, or just after that classic Aussie mojo, this Maton ticks all the boxes.
