Maton Master Built T.E. Personal Tommy Emmanuel Signature Acoustic Electric Guitar

The Maton Master Built T.E. Personal is a signature instrument honouring the artistry of Tommy Emmanuel, hand-voiced and crafted by Maton's most experienced luthiers under Head of R&D Patrick Evans. Hand-selected AAAA grade Sitka spruce and figured Queensland maple give this 808-size model Tommy's iconic tone, with outstanding clarity, responsiveness and sustain.

Scalloped Maton X bracing delivers optimal resonance and balance, and a rosewood fingerboard and bridge round out the playing feel, while a stylish walnut headstock veneer inlaid with a pearl kangaroo and logo adds a distinctive signature touch. The AP5 PRO pickup system sounds just as convincing plugged in as it does unplugged, making this guitar ideal for stage performance as well as studio work. Finished in a satin Honey Face top with natural back and sides, the T.E. Personal is a visually striking tribute to one of the world's greatest players.
