Maton Guitars update

It’s been a while since I’ve done a story on Melbourne-based guitar maker Maton, renown for it’s blackwood guitars. Here are two good stories.

Firstly some eye candy.

The recently (?) released Maton BB1200 DLX is an absolute beauty.

This guitar just screams the beauty of blackwood. Yes it’s Victorian Otways blackwood but blackwood nevertheless. Here’s a video review.

Imagine your farm-grown blackwood ending up here, looking this good! Something to be proud of!

Secondly Maton Guitars are now also using Tasmanian as well as their traditional Otways blackwood. The new Maton SRS 70 acoustic guitar is an example.

And a video review:

Do Maton’s want to help secure their future supply of blackwood? Now how do we transmit this blatant market passion for blackwood on to Tasmanian farmers?

Any ideas?
