The Maton EBG808TE 'Tommy Emmanuel' is a signature acoustic-electric built to the standards of one of the world's most accomplished guitarists, pairing an "AAA Select" grade spruce top with Queensland maple back and sides for a tone that's rich, responsive, and perfectly balanced. The compact 808 body shape and scalloped X-bracing give the guitar a dynamic range with clarity and depth suited to fingerpicking and strumming alike.

A highlight of the EBG808TE is the "C.G.P." mother-of-pearl block inlay on the 12th fret, a tribute to Tommy Emmanuel's Certified Guitar Player title awarded by Chet Atkins. A streaky ebony fingerboard, select Queensland maple neck, and vintage amber satin finish combine premium playability with timeless looks, and the onboard AP5 Pro pickup system makes the guitar ideal for touring musicians who need reliable, natural amplified tone night after night.
