Maton Guitars

Maton Guitars were first founded in 1946 by jazz musician, woodwork teacher and luthier Bill May, who dreamed of an Australian guitar manufacturing industry that would provide the kind of high quality instruments missing from the Australian market in those days. Over 70 years later and Maton Guitars continue to do just that, now employing over 70 people, remaining 100% family owned and producing some of the world's finest instruments for some of the world's finest guitarists including Tommy Emmanuel and Eric Johnson.

Maton acoustic guitars use many timbers to produce their largely hand made guitars. Their designs span the familiar dreadnoughts and orchestral models. They also use their own original shapes such as the EM amd Mini Maton. Their styling stands out from more traditional designs.

These guitars are popular with a wide range of guitarists, from strumming singer songwriters to percussive avant-garde soloists. Guitarists seeking high quality instruments with their own defined sense of style will love this brand.
