A beautiful blast from the past. We’re happy and proud to have landed this Concert Classical from Robert Mattingly, which comes to us all the way from 1967 in Flamed Maple and Spruce. The voice is quick, lively, and immediately rewarding; the evidence of an instrument that’s been played in and opened up completely. At some point in its long life (so far!), this Mattingly was played as a Flamenco guitar, and has twin clear tap plates and nail marks to prove it. We’ve gone over the instrument head to toe and can confirm that it’s in great playing shape, ready for many more years to yet.

Mattingly was a luthier who also ran a well-known guitar shop called The World of Strings for many years in California. He was a self-taught builder, and because of that he created special instruments that won their way into the hearts of many professional players and amateurs alike. This one from the early days in the 1960s and is full of his passion and artistry. The tone is alive and strong and clear and extremely musical. This one is both collectible and playable with years of life left in its soul. | Scale Length | 25.8750 in |
