Description
The Maton EBG808TE Tommy Emmanuel Signature is a world-class acoustic-electric guitar designed in collaboration with one of the greatest guitarists alive, Tommy Emmanuel C.G.P. (Certified Guitar Player). Honoring the title bestowed upon him by Chet Atkins — and held by only a handful of guitarists in history — this signature model captures Tommy’s unmatched tone, dynamics, and expressive range.
Built to withstand the rigors of international touring while delivering studio-quality sound, the EBG808TE combines AAA-grade Sitka spruce with Queensland maple for clarity, warmth, and projection. The scalloped X bracing ensures resonance and balance, while the AP5-Pro pickup system captures every nuance when amplified.
A special touch is the Mother of Pearl “C.G.P.” inlay at the 12th fret, symbolizing Tommy’s legacy and connection to this one-of-a-kind guitar. Whether on stage in Nashville, Rome, or Sydney, the Maton EBG808TE delivers uncompromising performance for players who demand the very best.
Includes a Maton Standard Hard Case.
