Designed in collaboration with \u003cstrong\u003eTommy Emmanuel\u003c\/strong\u003e, the TE series guitars are an outstanding tribute to Tommy's musicianship and Maton's superior craftsmanship. Built to Tommy's specifications, the \u003cstrong\u003eTE Series\u003c\/strong\u003e provides the huge tone and performance you would expect from a guitar bearing his name.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eTommy 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!\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe Tommy Emmanuel models feature a Mother of Pearl block inlay on the 12th Fret, engraved with \u003cstrong\u003e\"C.G.P.\"\u003c\/strong\u003e The acronym stands for \u003cstrong\u003e\"Certified Guitar Player\"\u003c\/strong\u003e, a title bestowed on Tommy by \u003cstrong\u003eChet Atkins\u003c\/strong\u003e and held by only 3 other guitarists in the world - \u003cstrong\u003eJohn Knowles, Jerry Reed, and Steve Wariner.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eMaton EBG-808-TE\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe 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\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Maton AP5-Pro Electronics\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\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 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\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 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\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 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\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\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\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\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 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;
