The Maton EBG808TE Tommy Emmanuel Signature Acoustic Guitar is a world-class instrument built to meet the exacting standards of one of the greatest guitarists on the planet. Designed in close collaboration with Tommy Emmanuel, this signature model delivers the tone, playability, and durability demanded by a globe-trotting artist known for both delicate expression and ferocious attack.
Crafted with a AAA select spruce top and Queensland maple back and sides, the EBG808TE produces a rich, balanced sound with outstanding clarity and projection. The scalloped Maton X bracing enhances resonance, while the 808 body shape provides comfort without sacrificing volume. The neck, made from select Queensland maple, offers rock-solid stability for life on the road, ensuring peak performance from Nashville to Sydney.
Unique to this model is the Mother of Pearl C.G.P. inlay on the 12th fret, honoring the rare Certified Guitar Player title awarded to Tommy by Chet Atkins and shared with only a handful of legendary guitarists worldwide. Equipped with Matons AP5 PRO pickup system, the EBG808TE is stage-ready, delivering a natural amplified tone faithful to its acoustic voice.
Every detail, from its vintage-inspired finishes to responsibly sourced tonewoods, reflects Matons superior craftsmanship and commitment to sustainability. Complete with a Maton standard hard case, this signature guitar is both a tribute to Tommy Emmanuels artistry and a professional tool for serious players.
