Maton EBG808TE Left-Handed Tommy Emmanuel
Crafted in conjunction with guitar genius Tommy Emmanuel. The TE series guitars are a Wonderful tribute to Tommy’s musicianship and Maton’s superior craftsmanship. Built to Tommy’s specs, in a left-handed format, 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! Tommy has done Australia proud and he continues to use Maton as his guitar of choice.
Queensland Maple is the backbone of this guitar. A rainforest hardwood from Northern Queensland, this timber is strong, light, and beautiful. Queensland Maple 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 Tommy Emmanuel models feature a Mother of Pearl block inlay on the 12th Fret, engraved with "C.G.P." The acronym is a title bestowed on Tommy by Chet Atkins and stands for "Certified Guitar Player," it is held by only 3 other guitarists in the world - John Knowles, Jerry Reed, and Steve Wariner.
The AP5 Pro Pickup includes a separate microphone and piezo pickup, both of which can be blended via their individual controls. The system is designed to capture the true sound of the instrument utilizing the adjustable cardioid mic, which is mounted directly to the pre-amp, and the unique piezo system to permit easy final tweaking of microphone position to suit the individual artist's style.
