The Maton EA808 'Australian' celebrates native tonewoods and craftsmanship refined over more than five decades of instrument building. Its all-solid construction and dreadnought cutaway body deliver a dynamic, resonant tone that showcases the natural voice of Australia's finest timbers, with a solid Bunya top offering punch and warmth and Blackwood back and sides adding 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 faithfully to any stage or studio, making the EA808 ideal for players who value Maton's proud tradition of Australian-made craftsmanship.
