Maton SRS808 Acoustic Electric Guitar

Includes Hardshell Case

The Maton SRS808 Acoustic Electric Guitar from the Solid Road Series offers a striking combination of tonal warmth, clarity, and projection, thanks to its solid Blackwood back and sides paired with an "A" grade Spruce top. Designed with a refined bracing pattern, the SRS808 features a forward-shifting X brace and scalloped peaks that enhance the vibration of the top, giving the guitar an impressive tonal range. This carefully crafted design results in a balanced sound with crisp treble and full, resonant bass. Despite its smaller body, the SRS808 produces a surprisingly big sound that is sure to captivate any player.

The neck of the SRS808 is made from Queensland Maple, offering smooth playability and stability, while the streaky ebony fingerboard and bridge provide an extra layer of tonal richness and clarity. The guitar’s top bracing uses Maton’s scalloped X bracing design to achieve a broader sound with improved bass response, making it an ideal choice for both strumming and fingerpicking. Its natural satin finish enhances the guitar’s aesthetics while allowing the wood to resonate more freely, resulting in a guitar that not only looks beautiful but sounds even better.

Equipped with Maton’s AP5-Pro pickup system, the SRS808 is performance-ready, offering a natural and dynamic amplified sound. Whether you're on stage or in the studio, this model delivers top-tier acoustic performance with excellent tone and projection. A Maton standard hard case is included to protect your investment, and its responsibly sourced materials reflect Maton’s commitment to sustainability. The SRS808 is a perfect choice for musicians seeking an acoustic guitar that offers both exceptional sound and stunning craftsmanship.

    My most favourite guitar

    I have played many acoustics over the years and found that my SRS808 that i bought for myself as a christmas present in 2016 is by far the best playing and sounding 808 shape guitar ive ever put my hands on. The neck is crafted to perfection, the action, straight off the production line was near on perfect the fretwork is outstanding, begging to be played hard but at the same time giving you that tactile precision and feel that lends itself to more classical or fingerpicking playing styles, the rich tones the cedar top and other tonewoods produce are just magical for a smaller style guitar body, every song i seem to know sounds 10x better on my 808. I struggle to find a fault of the Maton SRS808. Maybe the only thing i can fault it for is that it didnt come into my life earlier. Thanks for crafting a perfect musical instrument. Much love, Rob

    Maton srs808 plays itself!

    When I was looking for a small-bodied acoustic it was hard to look past the srs808. I had tried Martins and Guilds among other brands in the price range, but none provided the warm and sparkle of the Maton SRS808. What I noticed when I first played it was how resonant and loud it was for a small-body, and how tight the bottom-end was. Have a lot of depth for different styles of playing. The Ap5 Pro pickup also makes the plugged-in sound amazing, being able to blend the pickup and mic gives great dynamic between solo and band performances. A guitar that is hard to put down!
