Hi guys, im not expecting many of you guys to have herd the name MATON before, but i thought i'll introduce it to this forum. Maton are an Australian Guitar, before you think oww he's a Aussie and he plays a Maton this is going to be a bias post, its not goint to be. Maton make a large range of accusticks and the electrics are called Maton Mastersounds. Many Australian International bands use these, ive read review where they basiclly said "I keep my rare's and expensives, Gibsons, Guild, Gretchs, Fenders etc. to record with and i take my Maton's on the road with me"
They are actully the Highest rated Guitar in Australian Guitar Magazine. They road test and review all makes modles of guitars amps, effects etc, and they said it sounded just as good as ne Fender, Gibson etc. but what boosted the rating up is its price, the reviewed modle retail for $1200 AUS so its cheeper for most of you guys. The one reviewed modle MS500 the one i play has a single coil in the front and a humbucker in the rear, its an awseom soundign guitar. My next door nabour has been playign guitar for about 30years and owns various Old US strats and gibby's as well as a new cheeper Epiphone, and he said allthough he woudl never part with his early ones he made me prommis if i ever sell my guitar he'll buy it, and is currently looking at buying a new one for himself, (btw he has a maton acustic valued at $5200 Australian :S yikes)
Saying this if you guys ever get the chance to play one DO SO! I know alot of you guys are on constent TONE SEARCHING QUESTS, those of you who are shodul check out there site, for a great looking and great sounding guitar, very cheep of overseas buyers as your doller is better then our austrlian dollar
