Woods and Drying

Maton specialise in creating superb guitars from Australian timbers such as blackwood, bunya, Queensland maple and Queensland walnut.  All timbers are sourced direct from the saw mills where quality control and the highest quality product can be identified for guitar building.

Once they arrive at the factory the woods are placed in kilns to be dried for up to four or five months - or until the water content is right for that wood and its intended use.
