Watch
Why it matters
Maton is the Australian maker whose amplified acoustic tone became a fixture of solo fingerstyle performance, and this model follows the specification of the player it is named for. It is priced as a professional working instrument rather than a casual purchase. Availability outside Australia runs through a small number of dealers, which keeps supply thin.
Note
The signature of the world's most celebrated acoustic guitarist.
Specifications
- Scale length: unknown
- Neck shape: unknown
Before you buy
- Dealer coverage outside Australia is limited
- The signature model is one of several Maton artist builds, so confirm the exact code
- Electronics vary between Maton ranges, so check the preamp fitted
