Maton 80th Anniversary CW808 Preowned 2026

The Maton 80th Anniversary CW808 brings the spirit of the iconic CW80 into Maton's much-loved 808 body shape for the first time, marking eighty years of Maton guitar making with a genuinely limited production model. It captures the warmth and reliability associated with the original CW80 while delivering the comfort, balance, and versatility the 808 body shape has become known for among modern players.

A AAA spruce soundboard paired with Fijian mahogany back and sides produces a clear, balanced voice with warm midrange and strong responsiveness for both fingerstyle and strumming playing. Premium appointments including rock maple binding, a herringbone rosette, and a rosewood headstock veneer with vintage Maton decal honour the heritage of the original CW80 design, while the AP5 Pro pickup system delivers natural, exceptional amplified tone. This example is pre-owned and in as-new condition, having seen only 6-8 weeks of use, and is ideal for players wanting a modern interpretation of a classic Australian acoustic in a genuinely limited 80th Anniversary specification.
