AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
RM-808
Available at Acoustic Centre Melbourne
The Maton Redwood 808 introduces a captivating new tonal voice within Maton’s acclaimed range of Australian-made instruments. Featuring a soundboard crafted from sustainably sourced Victorian Redwood and paired with Tasmanian Myrtle back and sides, this guitar delivers a tone both familiar and refreshingly unique. The Redwood top offers warmth akin to Western Red Cedar but with greater treble presence and dynamic responsiveness, while the Tasmanian Myrtle adds a smooth, maple-like clarity and sustain.
The result is a rich, complex sound full of character and nuance. Every note blooms with depth and harmonic detail, responding beautifully to even the lightest touch. Combined with Maton’s AP5 PRO pickup system and flawless craftsmanship, the Redwood 808 is an inspiring instrument for players seeking something truly distinctive — a guitar that’s as expressive and responsive as it is visually stunning.
