Trying

[@ginakeeble620]

So good to see Maton guitars featured. As an Australian, I'm really proud of our homegrown instruments and have two Matons (a newish 6 string and a really old 12 string) which I love more than anything. Glad you enjoyed playing one!

[@ZandvlietGuitarCompany]

The building that they are in looks so cool!

[@TheGuitarsquatch]

The muttered "Oh my god, I love Colin Hay" is perfect. Even if he weren't such a good player and singer, his story telling is to die for. I could listen to him speak about nothing for hours on end.

[@646oleg]

great singer

[@mitchellhorner1510]

Wow the guitar sounds incredible! Great playing as well!

[@MultiDwang]

Thanks Jeremy. Great page. I have owned 3 Matons. As an Aussie , I am lucky, as they are pretty common second hand. Currently play a Maton S60 Dreadnought (similar to one reviewed on Artisan guitar youtube page in the past), which I recently puchased 2nd hand for around $700 Aust ($540 USD). It's not one of their expensive models ,but plays and sounds great.

[@russellr1509]

Beautiful playing Jeremy , I love the bits you play on your Videos.

[@jamesbateman7131]

Glad to see that you finally got a chance to try out a Maton Jeremy. I'm from Australia and have metioned Maton guitars a few times on your live KZbin streams. Acoustically they sound a bit thin and overbuilt, but plugged in they are a beast. I have owned many in the past and still have 1 that I use as my workhorse to take out and about. But I recently purchased a new reimagined Martin D-28 and what a guitar it is!! It's amazing, leaves my Matons for dead acoustically and it's playability is fantastic.

[@johnbee9648]

Great sounding guitar always fancied a Maton but never got one , but very tempted now after hearing you play ,when amp kicked in it sounded so warm and clear at the same time, liked the playing also keep it up Jeremy .

[@jamesglaubitz3574]

My Maton EA80C Australian (it says Australian on the soundhole sticker not "The Australian" like newer models) has been my workhorse for 15 plus years. The sound is so familiar, I could feel it's strings under my fingers as I watched. Great video. Thanks for showing some love to these fantastic instruments. I hope it encourages others to buy Matons so the company can continue to make great guitars for future generations.

[@Hammonds77]

As a proud Aussie and proud Maton owner I love seeing how we’ll know and popular Maton’s have become over the world

[@druno82]

I saw Tommy play about 8 years ago, and ever since I have wanted to play a Maton. Absolutely incredible live tone

[@stevebarkman2681]

Maton's pick up system is certainly up there. As a live 'soundie' (and a luthier and a Maton authorised repairer) for the last three decades, these are the ONLY guitars that get plugged in, and sound great with everything 'flat'. I'd also qualify that comment by saying that a good acoustic guitar, is not necessarily going to be a good acoustic/electric guitar.

[@xkukubax]

I love artisan guitars' channel, Jesse's sense of humour and his great playing. Shoutout to their new guy - Joe!

[@williamcatalano1762]

Watch this guys videos from time to time for demos. Very knowledgeable guy.

[@ramoncon]

I learned about Matons back in 2013. Finally purchased one last year. It sounds beautiful especially through an amp/ pa. Definitely a keeper :)

[@dbkoala]

I’ve had an opportunity to play an 808 and mess with the pickup. My local guitar shop here in Fredericksburg, Picker’s Supply, carries Maton Guitars. They’re fantastic!

[@glennselwitz1377]

[@rong648]

Maton has developed an amazing pickup system.

[@guitarlessonssouth]

Dialing in the mic really added presence.

[@redson425]

I'm pleased you got a chance to play a Maton as well. Wondering if you got a chance to play an Artist or a Nashville? For me that's where the real magic of Maton with the combination of Sitka and Victorian Blackwood lies.

[@joebloggs2312]

I purchased my first Maton in 2000, and built a collection (eight now) in the hope of using them/holding their value, (appreciating, even)... With the brand now making headway in the U.S. market, I'm thinking they'll be commonplace by the time I'm ready to sell them.

[@mt-nv4jd]

Jeremy, you have a great job.

[@jeffsquires6620]

I heard of Maton years ago. Ben Harper and Jack Johnson used them.

[@Skwid-Lives]

Bought an Eastman AC-622 from that shop last summer. It’s an amazing guitar

[@Atlas_Mohler]

Sweet! Never tried one of these

[@w1986916]

I have a srs808,My personal experience... the tone and resonation of guitar itself isn't remarkable, but very recognizable! AP5-pro pickup system is perfect weapon for stage,it doesn't even need preamp, just direct plug into portable speaker like JBL speaker,it can make very decent sound!

[@Papayajoseph]

Have you heard David Wilcox on his choir of pickups setup? He has that problem solved and down on his Olsen. Fantastic playing and of course Tommy has the best live acoustic rig for a loud audience and of course Dave.

[@cbayardelle]

They do sound thin, but plug in, the bottom & mids come alive.

[@neilpepper3575]

Tommy turns both the mic and pickup up to max..and uses a sound hole plug..when performing

[@paulboden7850]

Bill and Jesse r awesome!

[@raulands]

How do Matons compare to Furch? When I was looking to buy my Furch Vintage 3 OM SR,I was between the Furch and the Maton TE. I don't play plugged in, I mostly went with a hunch as hadn't played any of them.

[@JeremySheppard]

Furch wins easily, in my opinion. Matons feel heavy and stiff. They sound excellent plugged in but I don't get them acoustically.

[@raulands]

@JeremySheppard thanks for the reply! I'm glad I made the right choice then. I have never played a Maton, hopefully one day I can try one, but I'm very happy with my Furch Vintage. I put on a bone saddle, I think it sounds even better.

[@jesseginnever8199]

[@matthewkeeley4479]

I'd appreciate the name and the tuning being played in the last part of the recording ; starting around where the mic and amp were being tweaked? Right about where the harmonics chime and return back to fingerpicking? Nice piece...

[@JeremySheppard]

I was playing in DADGAD. Just stuff I've written over the years. Vaguely similar to Barnaby Bright's song Castle Rock.

[@greglarry11]

My questions is ... do you have to use this gauge strings? I really don't like that setup (.12 - .53). What would happen if you used lighter gauge strings? I don't mind the heavy higher strings but I use lighter strings on the low end. I don't like to wrestling with big fat low E and A strings. Can you offer any info on strings gauges for the guitar? I fear if I run thinner strings, it won't sound right.

[@windub9203]

[@paulrich6307]

you bought the wrong Huss & Dalton? Which one would you have purchased?

[@JeremySheppard]

Years ago, I bought a Huss and Dalton DH custom with red spruce top and large sound hole. It was a bluegrass Canon and I couldn't ever sing over it. I now have a TDM that is perfect for me.

[@pickersgrip]

How's the neck on that Maton? It looks narrow and thin to me.

[@JeremySheppard]

Pretty thin and C shaped.

[@davidoconnor8925]

All the Aussies say YEAH!!! Maton are the bomb. I got mine in 1991 and about 2 years ago retrofitted the new AP5 Pro pick up. OMG. Beautiful to play, look at and now sounds amazing plugged in. I record straight in to interface. Check it out #riotofthepinkaxe. I've tried the 12 string model in shop and Wow. Most Aussie player will have one, the old ones are just as good as the new ones. Maton do do electrics and I believe they are good. I'm still saving up for one. I would not part with my Maton for anything. Love the Vid Jeremy.

[@frankcarter6427]

my friend has a maton, it's good but not great

[@angelg8445]

They kind of remind me of Larrivee (Tommy Emanuel also has a Larrivee signature deal), which is a great high end /“budget” guitar. I love larrivee and they do rival Martin and Gibson/Taylor. I think with the pick ups and all Maton is a great option, probably close to being on par with a custom shop Martin ? Maybe not quite at the same level as a Collings/Bourgeois/Santa Cruz….but close! I played one and it was great, it had a lose brace but that was probably just from the previous owner.

[@dustinadair7893]

Cole Clark pickups are unbeatable, piezzo, face sensor and a mic and an EQ onboard. So awesome. Maton is second in my opinion, then I’ve yet to find an American guitar that has an amazing pickup system. Taylor - meh… Martin - not sure. Gibson - Meh. They all sound amazing acoustically but pickup system isn’t that great.

[@RRStout]

If he was born in 1937, that would make him 84 years old today. I think not.

Unfortunate that u cannot appreciate guitar culture w/o being anti-science. Yes masks work, ofcourse they do, surgeons wear them. Do u want spit in ur face? Do u wash hands after taking poop? Do u stop at redlights or wear shoes outside....So many hogs wont wear them, and they don't work if u don't wear them. How many of u will die/spread covid? How many of u will kill someone w/ur ignorance? Covid causes major lung damage and neurological issues, also heart and vessel problems. Anti-vaxxers have died from Covid. How many of u refuse to believe in academic research? Its sad, but the fact is we still need u conservative/republican/qanon racists to get vaccinated, and wear masks. The entire reason we have millions of deaths worldwide from covid is bec ppl don't take the pandemic serious. THE LONGER WE LET THIS PANDEMIC GROW THE LONGER THE WORLD SUFFERS.

[@dcarts5616]

@@angelg8445 statistics show that POCs are the most vakseen hesitant. Studies also show that the vaccinated are spreading COViD more than the unvaccinated. The COViD19 vaccine is the deadliest vaccine ever released in the modern era. We can both choose to look at all of the data or just the data that agrees with our politics. I love freedom, you love having your god (government) tell you what to do. An impasse, maybe? I don’t get the flu vaccine and I won’t get the Wuhan bioweapon virus vaccine. Humans aren’t meant to be masked, quarantined, etc, all this is is a tool to subvert the freedoms and liberties both big and small of all people across the world. Are you going to be leading the unvaccinated to gas chambers someday my socialist friend? Come get me…I dare you.

Matons are not the best sounding acoustically. They’re in Taylor and Larivee range. However, when you plug them in they’re exceptional.
