AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
EBG808C-ARTIST
Available at Acoustic Centre Melbourne
The Maton EBG808C Artist stands as one of the finest examples of Australian acoustic craftsmanship, delivering rich tonal balance and exceptional projection in a compact 808 body. Built with a AAA-grade Sitka spruce top and AA-grade figured Blackwood back and sides, this instrument produces a responsive, harmonically complex sound with impressive clarity and warmth. Every element of its design — from the scalloped Maton X bracing to the hand-finished satin nitrocellulose coating — contributes to its articulate tonal voice and professional feel.
Designed for stage and studio performance alike, the EBG808C Artist features the renowned Maton AP5 PRO pickup system, offering pristine, natural amplification with incredible tonal control. Elegant details like herringbone purfling, snowflake inlays, gold Grover tuners, and maple binding highlight Maton’s impeccable attention to detail. Whether performing live or recording, this guitar captures the true essence of your playing with effortless style and precision.
