The Maton EBW808C Blackwood is a standout in Maton's Blackwood Series, offering a tonal palette as rich and diverse as the Australian tonewood it's built from. Constructed entirely from solid Blackwood, it 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, well suited to both fingerstyle and strumming, while the comfortable 808 body with a soft cutaway allows easy upper fret access 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, and the satin finish with rope-style purfling emphasises the natural beauty of the wood grain. Outfitted with the AP5-Pro pickup system, it sounds just as stunning on stage as it does unplugged, making it ideal for players who move between studio and touring work.
