AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
The Maton EBG808C-TE-TSB Tommy Emmanuel Signature is built to keep up with one of the most demanding acoustic players on the planet. Its compact 808 cutaway body, AAA select spruce top and Queensland maple back and sides deliver the balance, punch and clarity Tommy is known for – from delicate fingerstyle passages to hard-driving rhythm. The classic Tobacco Sunburst Satin finish and tortoiseshell pickguard give it a stage-ready look that matches its world-class tone.
Every detail is dialled for serious performance, from the fast, comfortable Queensland maple neck and streaky ebony fingerboard to the scalloped Maton X bracing that keeps the top responsive and lively. Plugged in, the AP5 PRO pickup system captures every nuance with studio-grade detail, while the signature “C.G.P.” pearl block inlay at the 12th fret celebrates Tommy’s rare Certified Guitar Player honour. With a Maton Standard Hard Case included, this is a professional workhorse built for life on the road.
