The world of solid body double cuts

How about these



I don't think Maton are well known outside Oz (unless you're Josh Homme) but they have been making guitars in Australia, some models even using Australian tone woods, since 1946 and are still 100% Australian owned.

We have a shop just down the road from me that carries Maton and I am very impressed with them. I tried to work a deal on a trade and cash, but couldn't come to an agreement.

I found the guitars had great feel and ease of play that rivaled the Strat.

Thats great to hear Strum Glad it's not just me who likes the way they play (so much so I bought 2 haha).

we aren't alone in our opinions - despite the economy the guitars are moving pretty good at the local shop.

Ibanez SZR-720TGB (Transparent Gray Burst).

Stock photo:


Kinda unique 2008/2009-only model. Just discontinued, along with the less-blingy SZR-520. My local indy Ibz dealer scored a couple of the last NOS ones in this finish at closeout pricing via NAMM. I acquired one from him this past weekend, along with a Peavey PowerSlide and some other items via horse-trading for an '02 Tak Santa Fe EAC38C I had offered F/S (EDIT 3/15/10) in this thread and had put on consignment there.

I'll put up some actual photos when I get around to actually reviewing this and the PowerSlide.
