Creating this archive is a big task and it’s an ongoing one. Here you can search the online archives to find about every Maton guitar model ever built. I've just inherited an old (I'm guessing early 70s) Maton FG100/6, and am wondering if I can find out the year based on the serial number (#1020)? Maton has a full range from the small travel sized guitar called the Mini Maton right through to the top of the line Maton Messiah EM100C.
