MATON 75th Anniversary Diamond Guitar

To celebrate 75 years of continuous guitar production in Melbourne, Australia, Maton decided to produce a guitar that showcased the best design and construction they could bring to a guitar, as well as to celebrate the tonewoods they love and cherish.

Maton have produced a number of excellent celebratory guitars recently, particularly the 70th anniversary models and the Vera May centenary model, so they wanted this one to really stand out (by the way Vera just celebrated her 101st birthday and is still going strong…).

Maton are also entering into a new and exciting era in Maton’s history as another group of Maton luthiers enter their second decade of guitar making. These talented young craftspeople are adding to the work of the older, more experienced hands to consistently create instruments that are the best Maton has ever produced, and the world is taking note!

In recent years Maton have explored new shapes, materials and specifications through research and development in conjunction with the Maton Custom Shop and the passion and drive of Custom Shop luthier, Andy Allen. Many of the recent production models have benefitted from that work. Maton wanted this 75th Anniversary model to showcase all of this work.
