Maton EBG808TEC Tommy Emmanuel Signature Acoustic Guitar - Sunburst Finish

Here we have the incredible EBG808TEC Tommy Emmanuel Signature model acoustic guitar with a cutaway in a Sunburst finish. The TE series guitars are an outstanding tribute to Tommy's musicianship and Maton's superior craftsmanship. Built to Tommys specifications, the TE series provides the huge tone and performance you would expect from a guitar bearing the name. Tommy looks for a guitar with superb tone, capable of the most delicate expression as well as the most ferocious attack. The neck must stay true regardless of the rigors of international travel and the guitar needs to perform at its peak, from Rome, to Nashville, to Sydney! There's a Mother of Pearl block inlay on the 12th Fret, engraved with "C.G.P." standing for "Certified Guitar Player," a title bestowed on Tommy by Chet Atkins and held by only 3 other guitarists in the world - John Knowles, Jerry Reed and Steve Warriner. This is one of our favorite models from Maton, and they never last long!  Please let us know if you have any questions!
