This is an old Australian brand. The brand was founded in 1946 by Bill May, a Melbourne-born musician, woodworking teacher and luthier. As Australia's longest-running and most successful guitar manufacturer, and the first to use many native Australian woods for guitar construction, Bill May is called the founder of the industry by many Australian luthiers.
Most of us know Maton through the great god named Tommy Emmanuel. Once you have seen Tommy Emmanuel perform, you will understand why he is one of the greatest guitarists in the world and one of the most creative musicians on the planet. To match such a great performer, it must be a high-level guitar. The TE series was designed by Maton in collaboration with Tommy Emmanuel. It is the perfect combination of Tommy’s musical spirituality and Maton’s extraordinary craftsmanship. The TE series is manufactured according to Tommy’s configuration. It has an amazing tone and performance that is very consistent with its identity. Tommy is looking for a guitar with extraordinary tone that can accurately express almost all subtle emotions or the sound effects brought about by violent slaps. The neck must always remain stable during long-distance international tours, from Rome to Nashville to Sydney, and the performance of the entire instrument must always be at its peak!
It should be a good brand.
