The Maton EM100-808 Messiah stands as a flagship of the Maton lineup, combining master-grade tonewoods with careful craftsmanship. Featuring a solid AAA-grade Sitka spruce top and solid Indian rosewood back and sides, this 808-bodied guitar delivers rich harmonic content with exceptional clarity and dynamic response. Maton's scalloped X bracing enhances projection and tonal balance, suiting the EM100-808 equally to articulate fingerpicking and full-bodied strumming.

A solid mahogany neck with an ebony fingerboard ensures comfortable playability and tonal warmth, while herringbone binding, a herringbone rosette and a "Messiah" pearl block inlay at the 17th fret reflect the guitar's premium status. Finished in natural UV gloss, it is fitted with the AP5-Pro pickup system for clarity and definition in any amplified setting, making it ideal for players who want a flagship-grade instrument on stage or in the studio. An included Hiscox flight case ensures the guitar travels safely.
