it was a guitar Maton had manufactured in Japan, but quite quickly decided they weren’t being true to their dream of a great Australian guitar.
There were 2 versions, the ‘CW40’ & the ‘CW60’
And also the “Alver”
Alver was like Maton’s version of what Squier is to Fender. Bare bones models built in the same factory as more expensive Maton’s but geared towards kids and students. Their range went from students guitars to basic cutaway jazz guitars with single coil pickups. [Source: Simone H, Maton email 26/6/2017]
