The Maton EBG808C-TE Tommy Emmanuel Signature Acoustic Electric Guitar is built to meet the uncompromising standards of one of the world’s greatest acoustic players. Featuring a premium “AAA Select” grade spruce top and solid Queensland maple back and sides, this guitar delivers rich, balanced tone with powerful projection. Its compact 808 body with cutaway design provides exceptional comfort and dynamic response, perfect for everything from intricate fingerstyle arrangements to vigorous strumming.

This model proudly bears the “C.G.P.” (Certified Guitar Player) Mother of Pearl block inlay at the 12th fret — a prestigious title awarded to Tommy Emmanuel by the legendary Chet Atkins. The scalloped Maton X bracing ensures increased resonance, while the vintage amber satin finish highlights the natural beauty of the tonewoods. With the onboard AP5-Pro pickup system, this guitar captures every nuance of your performance when plugged in, making it a top-tier choice for live shows and studio sessions alike.
