The Maton EBG808TE 'Tommy Emmanuel' Acoustic Electric Guitar is a signature model built to meet the needs of one of the most accomplished guitarists of our time. An "AAA Select" grade spruce top and Queensland maple back and sides produce a tone that's rich, responsive, and perfectly balanced, delivering dynamic range with real clarity and depth whether fingerpicking or strumming. 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. A streaky ebony fingerboard, select Queensland maple neck, and vintage amber satin finish blend premium playability with timeless aesthetics, while 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.
