The Maton EBG808 Nashville isn’t just another acoustic—it’s the guitar trusted by country superstar Keith Urban, and for good reason. Handcrafted in Australia, this beauty combines AA Sitka Spruce with Australian Blackwood to deliver punchy projection, rich midrange, and a crisp top end that shines in any setting.
Unplugged, it’s loud, dry, and full of character—perfect for fingerpicking or strumming with authority. Plugged in, the AP5 Pro preamp system captures every nuance with incredible realism, making it one of the most natural-sounding stage-ready acoustics out there.
This particular Nashville is a stunner. The streaky ebony fretboard shows off unique figuring, while the Blackwood back and sides glow with depth and grain. The warm Vintage Amber Burst finish is even richer than we’ve seen on previous models, giving it a vibe that’s both classy and distinctive.
We absolutely love the Nashville—it just might be our favorite in the Maton lineup. If you’re after an acoustic-electric that’s equally at home on stage or in the studio, this guitar will not disappoint.
