AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
The Maton EA808 'Australian' Acoustic Electric Guitar represents the pinnacle of Maton’s craftsmanship, combining more than five decades of expertise in working with Australian timbers. The EA808 features a striking dreadnought cutaway body, crafted from premium Blackwood for the back and sides, offering a well-balanced tone with a deep, resonant low end and a crisp, articulate high end. The Bunya top complements the Blackwood, further enhancing the guitar’s rich, full-bodied sound, while the Desert Acacia fingerboard and bridge add to its unique Australian character.
This guitar is equipped with the AP5 Pro pickup system, providing clear, dynamic amplified sound, making it ideal for both stage and studio use. The Blackwood neck offers excellent stability and playability, with a smooth, comfortable feel for musicians of all levels. The EA808’s thoughtfully designed construction ensures optimal tone and playability, while its aesthetic details, such as the blackwood and rock maple pinstripe zipper and tortoiseshell-style binding, add elegance and sophistication.
With its solid, Australian-made build and use of sustainably sourced materials, the Maton EA808 is not only a high-performance guitar but also a tribute to the beauty and quality of Australian timbers. Included with the guitar is the Maton Deluxe Hardshell Case by Hiscox, offering excellent protection for the instrument. Whether you're an experienced player or a collector, the EA808 stands as a testament to Maton’s dedication to superior craftsmanship and sustainable guitar making.

AustraliaGuitar is beautiful, such a gem. Sound quality is impressive. Really beautiful to play. Over the moon with this purchase!
AustraliaI had reservations about purchasing a guitar unseen. The team at acoustic centre were fantastic. They took the time to play all the guitars I was interested in and recommended this one. It is honestly one of the nicest Matons I have played. I am so happy with it. The guitar arrived immaculately in the mail 2 days later. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
I liked the look and specs of the EA 808 Australian, but all I really had to go on were the description and video. I have not been disappointed. The guitar has amazing build quality and the woods have a beauty of their own, it is a real joy to play, the sound is balanced, clear, expressive, with amazing tone, what you hear in the video is what you get. As always, the buying experience from AC was faultless.
Excellent service and very quick postage
