THE MATON CUSTOM ACOUSTIC This is where it all began for me...my first guitar was a Maton Acoustic Dreadnought, built in my home town of Melbourne, Aust. That wonderful old instrument has long been retired from active service...currently I'm playing this beauty, built for me by the Maton custom shop, with my style of acoustic blues playing in mind. It has a spruce face and carved Indian rosewood back, which gives it a great gutsy tone.
