Maton Guitars EBG-808-TE Tommy Emmanuel - 17039

If you've ever seen Tommy Emmanuel, C.G.P. perform you will know he is one of the world's greatest guitarists, and one of the most inspirational musicians on the planet.

It takes a great guitar to meet the demands of such a world renowned player. Designed in collaboration with Tommy Emmanuel, the TE series guitars are an outstanding tribute to Tommy's musicianship and Maton's superior craftsmanship. Built to Tommy's specifications, the TE Series provides the huge tone and performance you would expect from a guitar bearing his 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!
 
The Tommy Emmanuel models feature a Mother of Pearl block inlay on the 12th Fret, engraved with "C.G.P." The acronym stands 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 Wariner.

The Maton EBG-808-TE bears a light aging toner on the AAA Grade Sitka Spruce top. A light Vintage Amber stain on the Queensland Maple back, sides, and neck could easily be mistaken for Mahogany.
 
A rain forest hardwood from Northern Queensland, this timber is light, strong, and visually striking. Queensland Maple, while originally used as a Mahogany "substitute", is extremely well balanced with an even response across all frequencies. If you are looking for the secret to Maton's great tone, this is a good place to start.

The proprietary Maton "808" body shape is similar, though slightly smaller that the U.S. built OM (orchestra model). However, the body depth of the 808 is substantially deeper at 4-7/8". This is significant, as moving the top and back further apart enhances the bass element within the tonal character of the voicing (bracing technique), complimenting the different wood combinations

The Maton AP5-Pro Electronics

In its 5th generation, the AP5 Pro features an internal Microphone and 6-Piezo bridge input, with controls that allow for blending of both microphone and piezo levels prior to sending the actively combined signals through the well engineered pre-amp.

The highly selective cardioid microphone system allows for much greater microphone level before feedback in live environments. This upgraded AP5-Pro microphone is direct mounted to the pre-amp casing with an adjustable arm, which permits easy final tweaking of microphone position to suit the individual artist's playing style.

Using the ‘Sweep-able Mid’ controls. Mid-range is sweep-able from 600Hz to 2.4kHz and can be cut or boosted within this range. As a general rule we start out with all settings ‘flat’ then alter them to achieve the desired tone & presence based on the venue or recording environment. For example, an open, natural sound can be achieved by setting the frequency control at 1.4khz and the boost/cut control at 5db. Alternatively, for a ‘thick’ lead sound boost your mid's by 5db and set the frequency dial at 1.7kh.

Love ❤️ this brand!!
I am a fan of this brand!! I have bought from them a couple times and have been pleased each and every time. These are just like the others we have gotten....they are lightweight, comfortable, durable (had them for months and still look good with no problems!), they look so cute on - can dress up or down, the price was great, they fit well, came with a cleaning cloth too!, don't slip off and block the sun well! I love this color, its neutral and pretty much goes with anything! I will happily buy from the again!! Currently my daughter has them so I cannot take a photo but I did take one of the same type just pink in color (which i also love love love lol). Really hope this helps!

Stylish Retro Vibe!
Color: Brown Tortoise Frame/Brown Grading Lens, Lens Width: 54 Millimeters
Stylish Retro Vibe! I am really happy with these aviators. The rectangle shape gives off a great vintage vibe that is very on-trend right now. One of the best things about them is how lightweight they are; I can wear them all day without getting a headache or those annoying marks on my nose. I was also pleasantly surprised by the extras—they come with a high-quality cleaning cloth and a protective case, which helps keep them scratch-free in my bag. The only thing to note is that they do have a wider fit. If you have a narrower face, they might feel a bit large, but for me, the slightly oversized look is exactly what I was going for. Great quality for the price!

Worth about $15
Color: Coffee Tortoise Frame/Coffee Lens, Lens Width: 54 Millimeters
Cute glasses. Not very sturdy and the ear pieces seem loose. They are okay for the price.
