The Maton Flamingo was manufactured from 1963 to 1965 with most being made in 1964. They were in two body shapes, an extreme cutaway, which frankly I think is stunning especially in white with red scratch plate. They were available in three colours, Flamingo Red, Deep Purple and White. The other shape was a double cutaway more Stratocaster shaped. Maton made about 1,400 of these in total with the extreme cutaway being the first shape and the representing the largest number of the total build. However these are much harder to find than the later shape. One point of interest is the tremolo assembly, you will note that it is the same as on the two Burns look alike Barclay guitars, obviously sourced from Japan.
