Maton EBW808 Blackwood Acoustic Electric Guitar

Available at Acoustic Centre Melbourne

Includes Hardshell Case

The Maton EBW808 Blackwood Acoustic Electric Guitar is a stunning example of the company's craftsmanship, designed to showcase the unique tonal qualities of Blackwood. The all-Blackwood construction delivers a distinctive tone, with bright trebles, a strong midrange, and full bass that blend seamlessly together. This guitar’s construction allows it to produce a compression effect that creates a sound unlike any other. The combination of an "A" grade Blackwood body, Queensland maple neck, and streaky ebony fingerboard and bridge ensures not only a rich, balanced sound but also superior durability and playability.

This model features a 808 body shape, known for its comfortable fit and versatile sound. The natural satin finish highlights the beauty of the wood, and the intricate rope inlay around the soundhole and binding adds a touch of elegance. Whether strumming powerful chords or playing delicate fingerpicking, the EBW808 offers excellent tonal clarity and response, making it an ideal choice for a variety of musical styles. The scalloped Maton X bracing further enhances its resonance, ensuring a robust sound that projects well in any performance setting.

Equipped with the AP5-Pro pickup system, the EBW808 ensures that its natural acoustic tone is faithfully reproduced when plugged in, making it perfect for live performances or studio recordings. The guitar comes with a Maton standard hard case, providing protection for this finely crafted instrument. With the inclusion of features like a bone nut and saddle, Grover Rotomatic machine heads, and a bone bridge saddle, the EBW808 is designed to meet the needs of serious musicians while offering unmatched tonal quality and playability.

    Maton Blackwood. EBW808

    Very happy with it, thank you. You have done a wonderful job with the set up, I am happy to not have to take it to a Guitar Repairer for adjustments. The strings are a little heavier than I am used to, but that’s minor. It has amazing electrics.
