EA808
Available at Acoustic Centre Melbourne
The Maton EA808 'Australian' Acoustic Electric Guitar is a celebration of native tonewoods and exceptional craftsmanship, refined over more than five decades of instrument building. With its all-solid construction and dreadnought cutaway body, the EA808 delivers a dynamic, resonant tone that showcases the natural voice of Australia's finest timbers. A solid Bunya top offers punch and warmth, while the Blackwood back and sides add clarity, projection, and a deep low-end that balances beautifully across the tonal range.
Crafted for both performance and visual impact, the EA808 features a Desert Acacia fingerboard and bridge, a rock maple and Blackwood pinstripe backstrip, and tortoiseshell-style body binding for understated elegance. The Blackwood neck provides smooth playability, and the onboard AP5 PRO pickup system ensures the guitar’s acoustic tone translates flawlessly to any stage or studio environment. Whether you're a seasoned player or a collector, the EA808 embodies Maton’s proud tradition of sustainable, Australian-made excellence.

AustraliaGuitar is beautiful, such a gem. Sound quality is impressive. Really beautiful to play. Over the moon with this purchase!
AustraliaI had reservations about purchasing a guitar unseen. The team at acoustic centre were fantastic. They took the time to play all the guitars I was interested in and recommended this one. It is honestly one of the nicest Matons I have played. I am so happy with it. The guitar arrived immaculately in the mail 2 days later. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
I liked the look and specs of the EA 808 Australian, but all I really had to go on were the description and video. I have not been disappointed. The guitar has amazing build quality and the woods have a beauty of their own, it is a real joy to play, the sound is balanced, clear, expressive, with amazing tone, what you hear in the video is what you get. As always, the buying experience from AC was faultless.
Excellent service and very quick postage
