Limited Edition Satin Black Finish Maton EBG808C Acoustic Electric Guitar with AP5 PRO Pickup System
MATON EBG808C
- Custom Satin Black Finish
- AP5 PRO Pickup System
- Maton Hard Case
- Pro-SCM Setup
The Maton EBG808C is Maton’s all solid 808 sized acoustic guitar. It is a great value small-bodied acoustic guitar with AA grade solid Sitka Spruce top and solid Blackwood back and sides. This is a limited edition custom colour model – they are very hard to come by and this example looks wickedly beautiful in its satin black nitrocellulose lacquer finish.
Acoustically, this EBG808C sounds sweet and balanced and is perfect for strumming and finger picking – dig in though, and this baby will roar with its punchy bottom end and sparkling high end response. Featuring a microphone and palathetic under saddle pickup, Maton’s AP5 PRO system faithfully replicates the 808’s acoustic tones when amplified.
Tonally, this guitar really packs some punch and is great for fingerpicking or bluegrass styles.
