Maton EBG 808CLG Performer Series, Bunya and Queensland Maple with Cutaway and Vintage Amber Sunburst

The Performer series carries the original 808 shape with a slightly thinner body and soft cutaway. It carries the original 808 shape with a slightly thinner body and soft cutaway. Its Bunya soundboard provides the volume and punch to more than compensate for a small body. Comfort and playability are the keys to this purpose built series and this Maton EBG.

The Bunya Feast was a regular gathering of indigenous people from around the Bunya Mountains in Southern Queensland. They would gather to feast on the ripe nuts from the Bunya tree and to sing, dance and celebrate. The Bunya tree also yields an outstanding soundboard timber - probably the best Australia has to offer.

Maton pioneered the use of this tonewood in the mid 1990's and have made some of our finest guitars from Bunya. Bunya has an earthy, wild, evocative tone, a change from the conventional - but with the volume, tone and beauty to stand up in its own right. Bunya is also a sustainable guitar making soundboard, reaching maturity in 80 years. Compare that to the 300 plus years it takes to grow Spruce.

This Maton EBG 808CLG Performer Series Guitar Bunya and Queensland Maple with Cutaway Pre-Owned 2015 is in Excellent + Condition with only some light surface scratches on the top, back and sides.

This guitar includes a Maton Hardshell Case.
