Maton EBW808C Blackwood Acoustic Electric Guitar

Includes Hardshell Case

The Maton EBW808C Blackwood Acoustic Electric Guitar is a standout in Maton's Blackwood Series, offering a tonal palette that’s as rich and diverse as the Australian tonewood it’s built from. Constructed entirely from solid Blackwood, this guitar produces a clear, articulate high end, a warm and focused midrange, and a punchy bass response. The natural compression of Blackwood delivers a uniquely balanced tone, making it ideal for both fingerstyle and strumming. The comfortable 808 body with a soft cutaway allows for easy upper fret access, perfect for modern acoustic playing styles.

Featuring a solid Queensland Maple neck and a streaky ebony fingerboard and bridge, the EBW808C is built for smooth playability and consistent intonation. Maton’s scalloped X bracing enhances projection while maintaining tonal clarity. Aesthetically, the satin finish and rope-style purfling emphasize the raw beauty of the wood grain. Outfitted with Maton's AP5 PRO pickup system, this guitar sounds just as stunning on stage as it does unplugged. Whether you're in the studio or on tour, this instrument is crafted to deliver performance-grade sound and feel.

  • All-solid Blackwood body offers warmth, clarity, and tonal compression

  • Comfortable 808 cutaway body shape for easy upper fret access

  • Streaky ebony fingerboard and bridge provide rich tone and smooth feel

  • AP5 PRO pickup system delivers stage-ready amplified sound

    Beautiful Guitar

    Awesome experience from start to finish. I viewed the guitar online, loved the look and was exactly what i was after, i then was contacted by the Acoustic Centre to say there was a slight blemish, and giving me options for an alternative guitar, but also that Maton would tidy up the finish to hopefully remove the blemish. Maton did an amazing job and you would not know there was a mark (likely just the grain of the wood). So received the guitar and exceedingly happy! 100% recommend.

    Excellent apart from fedex delivery

    Excellent seller. ryan was very very helpful. Resolved the shipping issue which Fedex by refunding me the costs straight away after letting him know That delivery driver decided i was not home and did not even attempt to knock on the door. I had to report to Fedex management issue and they are still investigating. I end up collecting from Fedex myself from the depo. Ryan thank you very much and i got extra a gig bag. Much appreciated. Now the EBW 808 is beautiful on the sight and on the sound. I am so impressed. Wood blackwood makes a difference and gives this deep nicer sound across all bass, middle and high Rich overtone. It is the wood that makes a difference. Blackwood is haevier than maple. Instrument looks and sounds amazing. I had EBG 808 Michael Fix and i can tell the difference. I highly recommend EBW808C blackwood and Accoustic centre. All kudos to Ryan.

    Fantastic - Couldn't be happier!

    Purchased the Maton EBW808C sight unseen online. Ryan and Dan from the store did an amazing job in arranging for delivery of the guitar. The service was exemplary and they were very helpful and clear in communicating the progress of the order. The guitar itself sounds amazing and is visually stunning.
