Made In Australia: My Maton Collection

A guitar collector’s journey covering instruments by Australian guitar maker Maton,
representing every vintage and collectable model made. Large format, hard cover, full
colour photography, historic notes and design information, detailing the unique and
versatile instruments to come out of the workshops of this home grown icon.

From the first guitars made in 1946 to the first guitar that rolled off the current
production line at Box Hill in 2003, and onwards to the present.

The Maton book contains numerous custom, prototype and employee guitars, plus many
serial number one examples, including the sensational GA.1 that pre-dates factory
ledgers. Rare instruments like the first electric, the only Big Ben guitar in existence
and an El Toro like nothing else, with comprehensive sections on the Fyrbyrd, the
Master sound and the Holy Grail of Maton guitars, the Starline.

The first reference Maton book of its type ever written; it is a must have for collectors, those
who own a Maton and anyone with an affinity for vintage guitars.

Made in Australia is exactly that. A book on Australian guitars, meticulously collected
over many years, published by an Australian and printed in Australia.

No guitar lover — especially Australian-made guitars — will be able to resist this, the story of one man’s obsession with all things Maton.’
