Here are the details:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe factory satin nitro finish has numerous \"shiny areas\" as do most Maton guitars that have been played. The areas captured in our photos are pretty standard, back of the neck, bass side lower bout, and a small area on back of the bass side (where it would lean in to your body while sitting).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe action measures 5\/64\" at the 12th fret Low E and 2\/32\" for the High E. The original bone saddle has been lowered slightly, and these string height measurements include some positive relief (plenty of distance remaining in the truss rod to setup even lower).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThere is some slight fret wear on the 2nd string, frets 1 through 3.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAt some point in its life, the soundboard (top) center seam had separated, likely due to not being properly humidified during one of Nashville's harsh winters. It has been professionally cleated and is stable.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe AP5-Pro electronics have been tested and function as new.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComes with an original Hiscox Flight case branded with the Maton logo, case candy, and original keys.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall condition is very good for its age (12 years old).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pre-owned Maton will make someone a nice addition to their collection and the opportunity to explore what Maton has to offer, with an attractive price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs was the spec in 2014, this EBG-808-TE was built with Indian Rosewood bridge and fingerboard (specs changed around 2016-17). This adds a bit of warmth to the tone.\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 \u003cstrong\u003eAP5 Pro\u003c\/strong\u003e 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\u003cdiv class=\"col-md-6\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"speclistdiv\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"tab1\" class=\"tab-pane fade active in\"\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 EBG808TE\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 \"AAA Select\" Grade Sitka Spruce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBack and Sides:\u003c\/strong\u003e Queensland Maple \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck:\u003c\/strong\u003e Select Queensland Maple \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFingerboard \u0026amp;
