This Mattingly Classical is a well-preserved treasure from one of America’s cherished luthiers. Built all the way back in 1984, this Concert Classical is in superb condition today, with only a few marks in spite of its many years. It’s been in one person’s hands all this time, and now we’re looking for the next person to take on this beautiful, responsive, and eminently playable Mattingly. Straight-grained Indian Rosewood back and sides, German Spruce on top, and Robert carved the neck with a sweet and subtle curve that feels silky in the hand. 650mm scale, rope style bindings and mosaic rosette, and Robert’s hallmark scalloped nut completes the image. This 1984 Mattingly comes with its original hardshell case and case cover.
