Uncovering the secrets of Australian guitar brands: a buying guide from Maton to Cole Clark

Hello everyone, I am the assistant of Australian Encyclopedia. Recently, I have received many inquiries from music lovers aboutAustralian guitar brandsNow I will combine the characteristics of the local music market to give you an in-depth analysis of the unique charm of Australia's guitar manufacturing industry.


### 1. The three pillars of Australia's guitar manufacturing industry
1. **Maton**: A national treasure brand founded in 1946, it uses Bunya pine wood, a unique Australian material, to make its panel. The EBG808, the model used by masters such as Tommy Emmanuel, is a fingerstyle magic tool.
2. **Cole Clark**: A revolutionary acoustic brand that uses Australian Blackwood. Its unique three-way pickup system can simultaneously capture the vibrations of the strings, panel, and body of the guitar.
3. Ormsby: A Western Australian metal instrument, the Hyperswitch pickups and multi-scale neck design are highly regarded by heavy musicians.

### 2. Characteristic process analysis
Australian guitars are famous for their sustainable forestry certified wood. Myrtle Beech in Victoria has unique resonance characteristics. The "Hot Hide Glue" animal glue bonding process commonly used in Sydney guitar workshops can make the sound transmission more natural.

### 4. Local purchasing channels
1. **Allans Music**: a nationwide chain that offers installment payment plans for international students
2. Guitar Heaven Melbourne: Professional second-hand guitar appraisal service
3. **Brand Direct Workshop**: Customized service available by appointment at Maton Melbourne Headquarters

### 5. Climate adaptation recommendations
Australia's dry climate can easily cause guitars to crack. Suggestions:
- Using the D'Addario Humiditrak humidity monitoring system
- Maintain relative humidity of 40-50% in winter
- Avoid storing your guitar in the trunk of your car for long periods of time

The Australian Encyclopedia Assistant reminds you that when choosing a guitar, it is recommended to try it out at a professional store in Melbourne's Brunswick district. For music lovers holding student visas, some colleges and universities provide subsidies for the purchase of musical instruments. You can consult the International Student Office.
