Neben den allseits bekannten Acoustics bietet Maton bereits seit 1958 auch elektrische Gitarren an, die sich nach und nach wieder einen eigenen Stand in der Szene erobert.
Ikonen wie Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age, Them Crooked Voltures), der jüngst mit einem Signature Modell beglückt wurde, transportieren eine neue Coolness, die nahtlos an die Zeit mit alten Helden wie Tommy Emanuel und George Harrison anschliesst, die ebenfalls ihre Zeit mit einer Maton Electric hatten. Also auch hier eine gute Gesellschaft.
Bei den Maton Electrics kommen, wie bei den Acoustics, viele einheimische, Australische Hölzer und Pickups aus eigener Fertigung zum Einsatz.
Kombiniert mit eigenen Schaltungsdesigns, unterscheiden sich diese Instrumente erfrischend vom Mainstream und überraschen mit frischen Sounds.
