Firebird 12 20 1965 mahogany body
My pops wanting to sell his 1965 12 20 firebird only 7 where made with mahogany and this is the beast that has mahogany 190 where made so call him on 0400262864 it has a set price and it’s for real lovers of firebirds so don’t think it’s a steel it’s not. I’ve seen them go for 7000 this isn’t that much but it’s not 1800 ither. One owner it sounds and plays good . He took it to maton they gave his a sticker and letter of its authentic parst origanl tuners as well sweet bigsby Thankyou athol 0400262864
65 maton fire bird
My farther athol has a real mahogany no stain top.it has letter from maton. Saying all genuine parts it was drilled by maton to receive japan tuners but maton run out so they put maton cluson type on it. Maton confers this. there’s a slight case die on head stock. From case nothing Metho won’t get off . But we don’t won’t to loose the sticker from maton it’s very slight kiss from the lineing in the case.190 where made and 7 only had a mahogany body if you want a great opportunity to bye this 12 20 maton with bigsby. We’ve had it in the family for ages I remember playing it as a boy. I remember dad hoked it one time so us kids could get clothes for school it’s a one owner. And much love set up to rock. So call athol my dad if you’re up for it. PS ITS NOT A 1800 throw away maton it’s a keeper you will pay for so only for real people need aply as I don’t need my dad waiting your time and his PHONE NO IS 0400262864 lake rowan vic

Hey dude I have one too! Yayness! Haha. It was my dad's when he was like 20. I have no idea where he got it from he's dead so that kinda stopped me asking when I finally took an interest haha. Email me if you want,[email protected]
I've also been looking for a bit of info on them and from the looks of it there's jack shit. Would be good to talk to someone who's dealing with them too. They're freakin old man haha.
Anyways, catch ya later.
If I don't hear from you good luck with it.

a little.. I have what I have bee ntold is a 1966 maton firebyrd..which I have had since 1990 - its a great guitar, with a crazy heavy sound - and a look reminiscent of a sixties burns guitar - I am keen to glean a little more on the history of this guitar - I have seen a later model a seventies one as used by nigel regan from the NZ band Head Like a Hole..I also know that one was used in the video for NZ band striaght jacket fits song 'cat inna can' which was shot in the sydney rail yards aboout 1994...now my guitar is residing in london...past owners of this one allegdedly are the aus grouip sky hooks.. ut dont qoute me on that
It's a Maton Fyrbyrd
I bought one when I was 19 and back then it was nearly as old as I was. I still have it will never sell it. I play a Fender more these days but still drag it out on occasions. If you want to know a little more get on the Maton site as it has a bit on the older models. With the effects pedals these days it's hard to tell the sound of one guitar to another. But the long neck on the Maton makes it easy to push the strings around. Whis is sort of handy as the Bigsby tremelo arm is pretty bad to try and keep on tune. Other than that a beautiful guitar and worth keeping. I,m sorry I changed the bridge just after I bought it because other than that it's pretty original. Have fun with your and hopefully you can hand it down to you kids.
Cheers
