Maton features
At Maton Guitars, our commitment to craftsmanship extends beyond wood and strings; it’s embodied in the artistry of our highly skilled painters. Each guitar is finished by hand, showcasing the passion and precision of our talented team. These artisans bring years of experience and a keen eye for detail, ensuring that every instrument not only sounds exceptional but also looks stunning. Our finishes showcase the harmony of tradition and innovation that defines Maton.
When it comes to the visual allure of your Maton guitar, our range of paint finishes showcases the artistry and dedication that goes into crafting each instrument. Explore the various finishing methods that we employ to transform wood into a work of art.
Our ultra-thin nitrocellulose satin finishes are crafted to showcase the natural beauty of each tonewood. With a smooth, vintage feel, the finish allows your hand to glide effortlessly along the neck. Every unique grain and feature of the timber is left visible, highlighting the individuality of each instrument. This ultra-thin layer also enhances resonance, working in harmony with the soundboard to deliver exceptional projection and a wide dynamic range.
Available in both our satin and gloss ranges, each stained and burst finish is expertly hand-painted by our dedicated paint team. From the signature style of the great Tommy Emmanuel, to the subtle charm of a vintage amber halo burst, or the refined elegance of a teardrop tobacco sunburst—our stained finishes embody timeless tradition and aesthetics that captivate anyone who lays eyes on them.
Our UV-Gloss finish is the perfect complement to our premium range of guitars. The highly polished surface enhances the natural highlights of the timber, allowing the wood’s beauty to truly dazzle. Each piece is carefully grain-filled for a flawless, glass-smooth base, then painted, sanded, buffed, and polished to a mirror-like gloss. While our satin finish lets chords ring out with bold resonance, the gloss finish brings a piano-like clarity and precision to every individual note.
