AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
EBG808TE
Available at Acoustic Centre Melbourne
The Maton EBG808TE 'Tommy Emmanuel' Acoustic Electric Guitar is a signature model designed to meet the needs of one of the most accomplished guitarists of our time. Built with a "AAA Select" grade spruce top and Queensland maple back and sides, this guitar produces a tone that’s rich, responsive, and perfectly balanced. Whether you're fingerpicking or strumming, the EBG808TE delivers a dynamic range with clarity and depth that stands up to Tommy Emmanuel’s high standards. The AP5 Pro pickup system ensures exceptional amplified tone for stage or studio use.
A highlight of the EBG808TE is the “C.G.P.” Mother of Pearl block inlay on the 12th fret—a tribute to Tommy’s Certified Guitar Player title awarded by Chet Atkins. Crafted with a streaky ebony fingerboard, select Queensland maple neck, and vintage amber satin finish, the guitar blends premium playability with timeless aesthetics. Scalloped X-bracing and a compact 808 body shape offer enhanced resonance and comfort, making this model ideal for touring musicians and precision players alike.
