Some people (like me) think it’s sacrilege when a vintage Maton is modified. In this case, it’s created my dream bass.
After nearly 13 years, I’ve reached a Maton nerd milestone… one of each Fyrbyrd model. From FB620 to FBFX. Continue reading…
This is probably one of the last Maton’s I’ll be buying… the rare FBFX.
Finally after 20+ years, I’ve got a Peavey Destiny again…
My “one for one” rule… while painful… sometimes pays off.
A review on the newly released book: “The Music That Maton Made”
My latest obsession. Solid state goodness made here in Brisbane.
Next up in the 2015 Guitarnerd Maton army… an ultra rare Fyrbyrd FB650.
I’m going to be straight up… this year has been pretty shit for me, band-wise.
Move over Maton. I’ve got another obsession now. Continue reading…
You may have noticed my guitarnerd blog has been very quiet for the last six months. The reason is I’ve been working on a HUGE exciting project which is nearly finished… a book based on the amazing Maton collection of Wadih Hanna, who has most probably the best collection of vintage Matons in the world. It’s been an absolute honour working on this book and I’m really excited to finally be able to share this with everyone. I know I’m biased but it honestly looks amazing. The guitars featured inside are works of art. The final printed book will be ready in November but we’ll be starting up a crowd funding campaign soon to help with printing. (This is a totally independent book… no publishers or sponsors.) I’ll keep you informed as things progress. Cheers – Tony
My self imposed rule of cutting down on my Maton ‘habit’ has failed…. dismally.
