1970s Maton F11 Acoustic
I don't actually remember owning this one at all but it's in the list that I kept from the 1980s, so I'm assuming that I bought it at an auction hoping to make some money out of what I thought was a good brand of guitar. I was wrong. It cost me $200 but I sold it almost immediately for $180.
Unfortunately these were just a cheap "student model" made of plywood. From what I have read they were a steel string version of the classical model F10. The odd thing about them was that they had no heel, so the neck was most likely bolted on.
According to the Maton web site they were made from 1970 to 1974. In 1971 the price was $64 and there were 1665 made, with serial numbers from 001 to 1670. My serial number was 1069 so I would guess that it was from about 1973?
