The Maton EBG808C Artist is one of the finest examples of Australian acoustic craftsmanship, delivering rich tonal balance and exceptional projection in a compact 808 body. Built with a AAA-grade Sitka spruce top and AA-grade figured blackwood back and sides, it produces a responsive, harmonically complex sound with impressive clarity and warmth, and every element of its design, from the scalloped Maton X bracing to the hand-finished satin nitrocellulose coating, contributes to an articulate, professional voice.

The renowned Maton AP5 PRO pickup system gives the EBG808C Artist pristine, natural amplification with genuine tonal control for stage and studio performance. Elegant details including herringbone purfling, snowflake inlays, gold Grover tuners and maple binding highlight Maton's attention to detail, ideal for performers who want a guitar that captures the true character of their playing live or in the studio.
