Maton – Australia’s leading guitar makers - would like to announce their latest dynamic duo endorsement - International songwriting and production team - Fiona Kernaghan and Daniel Kresco.

“We are proud to have them join the Maton team, playing guitars built from 60 years of experience. Fiona has a great new album, a great new guitar so now there’s no stopping her” says Maton’s Mark Malmborg.

Both Fiona and Daniel have always had a strong love for Maton Guitars choosing them not only for use in the studio while recording and writing but also in a live setting.

Fiona Kernaghan is an award winning songwriter having written eleven #1 hits in Australia and has over 100 songs recorded around the world in a number of different genres. She is also an ARIA nominated artist and has just released her brand new album, “Shadow Wine and Truth Lilies”.

“I’ve played my Maton for 12 years and it just gets better with age. I’ve taken it all over the world and people always ask me about it and where the can get one”, says Kernaghan. “The smaller body model I have is super versatile – I love how it feels to play live, the electrics have been 100% reliable over the years and it also transitions perfectly in the studio”.

Daniel Kresco is an internationally renowned producer and engineer who has worked with superstar artists including Michael Jackson, Jennifer Lopez, Barenaked Ladies, Limp Bizkit and LeAnn Rimes.

“The CW-80 Cutaway is one of the most versatile acoustic guitars I have ever played. I can go from playing finger style ballads to the rock riffs and leads that take me all the way up the neck without needing to change guitars”, says Kresco. “The AP5 EQ lets me dial in the perfect amount of midrange so I fit in perfectly with Fiona’s vocal on stage. The low end is powerful yet defined – which is perfect for what we do on stage.”
