We have to start by pointing out, this 2018 model Maton EBW-808 has virtually no visible fret wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe setup conforms to factory specification, measuring 3\/32\" to 5\/64\" (Low E to High E, measured at the 12th fret). This string height (action) is standard for any new Maton and includes additional positive relief to easily adjust it lower for our fingerstyle fans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fingerboard and bridge were oiled during our detailing efforts, and it has been restrung with a fresh set of Elixir Phosphor Bronze strings, .012-.053.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are some minor indentations on back of the neck from use of a capo, and a few dings in the body (less than 1mm). There are some shiny areas in the ultra-thin satin nitro finish, typical of all used Maton guitars, as well as the back of the neck. Please see our photos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Maton EBW \u003cem\u003eAll-Blackwood\u003c\/em\u003e Series\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSimplicity and purity of tone lay at the heart of the Blackwood range of Guitars. Pure Blackwood tone -clear, bright trebles, strong mid range and full bass. The All-Blackwood construction produces a unique compression, blending frequencies into a new, unique voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVictorian Blackwood is in the acacia family, with a surface hardness on par to its sister wood Koa which grows in Hawaii. It provides excellent projection, while the density (specific gravity) is slightly higher offering a warmer bass register than Koa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe proprietary Maton \"808\" body shape is similar, though slightly smaller that the US OM 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\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Maton AP5-Pro Electronics\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing 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 \u0026amp; 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-pane fade active in\" id=\"tab1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row marginnone\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-md-6\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"speclistdiv\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-pane fade active in\" id=\"tab1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row marginnone\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-md-6\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"speclistdiv\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-pane fade active in\" id=\"tab1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row marginnone\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-md-6\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"speclistdiv\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-pane fade active in\" id=\"tab1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row marginnone\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-md-6\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"speclistdiv\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.6;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e EBW808\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e 808\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFace\u003c\/strong\u003e Blackwood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBack and Sides:\u003c\/strong\u003e  \"A\" Blackwood \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck: \u003c\/strong\u003eQueensland Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFingerboard \u0026amp;
