Australian guitar manufacturer.

Founded in the early 1940s by Bill May and his brother Reg, Maton is Australia's longest running and most successful guitar manufacturer. Maton pioneered the use of many Australian wood species in guitar construction. Bill May is regarded by Australian luthiers as the "founding father" of their industry.

The name Maton is derived from MAy and TONe.
