AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
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.

We endeavour to show the actual instrument in stock whenever possible, but the guitar in stock may differ slightly from the one shown on our website. Materials used can look different from guitar to guitar, including timber grain and colour, parts colours and finishing. If an instrument is a one-of-a-kind or preowned guitar, the picture will always be of the actual guitar in stock, but production models may have slight variations to the picture shown.
If you're after a particular look, feel free to email us at info@acousticcentre.com.au or send us a message through our chat service to request photos of the actual guitar in stock. We are more than happy to send through pictures of all in-stock guitars, to make your choice easier.
