Description
With the launch of the Redwood Series, Maton has uncovered a fresh sonic character in the acoustic guitar world. There’s a certain magic that comes from pairing a Redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) soundboard with Tasmanian Myrtle (Nothofagus cunninghamii) back and sides. The Redwood is plantation-grown and sustainably sourced from the Otway Ranges in Victoria, while the Myrtle comes from Maton’s long-time Tasmanian supplier — the same source used for the Joe Robinson Signature model.
Sonically, Redwood shares some qualities with Western Red Cedar, but with a more pronounced top-end shimmer and a livelier dynamic response than cedar typically offers. Tasmanian Myrtle (or “Tassie Myrtle,” as we call it here) brings a smooth, maple-like character, and when paired with Redwood it adds a touch of extra warmth and sustain to the overall voice of the instrument.
The end result is captivating. These guitars deliver a richly layered tone where all the familiar frequencies are present — yet there’s an added depth that keeps revealing itself. Subtle changes in your touch bring out different overtones and textures, opening up new expressive possibilities. It’s the kind of guitar that draws you in… and makes it very hard to put back down.
