Checking out Maton Guitars' 'Australian' Model Acoustic

I'll be the first to say that the EA80C from @matonguitars is the best thing to come out of Australia since the Tim Tam Slam! This guitar is designed to showcase the tone and beauty of Australian wood, and they nailed it! Check out the video as I test out this wonder from down-under. This guitar is meaner than a drop bear in tourist season!

Justin, I think we 🇦🇺 should make you an honorary Australian. You should visit down under and do some concerts and a workshop.

Cole Clark is another great Australian guitar maker using native tonewoods they use a microphone, piezo and a soundboard sensor making a three way pick up. There are also quite a few excellent small companies making amazing guitars here from our native trees.

I could never do justice to such a wonderful guitar but fully appreciate players like Justin. Stunning, hard earned skills.

Thanks Justin, what a great guitar review. You give your audience exactly the information they need but expand on this information with fabulous playing. Maton Australia must be very happy to have a guitarist of your caliber giving honest and outstanding reviews & demonstrations of their instruments.
Nice touch of humour as well. Cheers mate from Auustraya !

I bought my 808 artist model a year ago and it is one of the best instruments Ibe owned. It's so subtle and exceptionally well made! Never goes out of tune and is fantastic for gigging! Glad to see my home land getting the recognition it deserves!

Been playing Matons for 35 years. Some of the finest guitars on the planet, period. beautiful sounding & playings. not cheap, but worth every penny.

You just can't get enough of Justin! What a talent!

My BG808 still going strong. Made in October 1979, been with me since then. Played it at a gig 3 months ago. Never had a setup, replaced tuners back in the 80s sometime ( busted original tuners). Fishman pickup installed, always good to go. I'm glad it can’t talk about some of the places it’s been.

I’m so pleased to hear your playing and your view on Matons, I love mine.

[roblarson]

I’ve had the TE808 for 4 years. Sounds awesome and plays as clean as a piano. Love it!

[cristaud]

I love my Maton - a Tommy Emmanuel - but man watching Justin play - what a lively player!

[stefaneestien]

A truly GREAT review of this instrument. As an Australian & a past owner of 6 to 7 Maton guitars, I really appreciated than someone did the job properly and demonstrated its features with exceptional performing skills! Best review of a guitar I've ever seen! Congratulations!

[tomwilliams]

Well done Justin fantastic to promote our Australian made guitars keep it up mate! 👍🙏

[guitarcoalector]

That guitar sounds incredible! Nice playing and fabulous work I want this guitar!!!

[tekannon]

I'm coming in after the description JJ has done and I am impressed with how beautifully crafted the guitar is. It's a work of art and it's exactly a guitar that acoustic guitar players the world over would love to play.

Hey Justin love your playing. Both you and Ry Cooder are my favourite slide guitarists and its so great to see you playing an Aussie guitar. I used to sell Matons when I was a teenager and proud to see an iconic Aussie product being appreciated and recognised by a player of your calibre. Get over to Oz one day mate we’d love to see ya!!

A mate of my brother provides Maton with local wood from Tasmania (Australia). The "Other" big guitar company in Melbourne is Cole Clark. Originally in Maton, the luthier that created it also uses amazing timber and quality stuff. Check out the Fat Lady models.

[danieltilley]

That guitar sounds great and a great player also. I love this closing tune.

[Ric-Phillips]

I had a luthier put an AP5 pro pickup in my old Maton ECW. It really is a brilliant system. Made a great guitar even better.

[grimreminder]

That sound and range, those wood types make an insane amount of difference! That's the type of sound that could liven up any room
