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.
