The Sitka Spruce \/ Indian Rosewood construction is familiar to us here in the states.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSitka is the most popular soundboard species in the world and is articulate with excellent velocity control. Indian Rosewood has a wide sound, giving you bell-like high end sparkle and warmer low end power in the bass register. Combined you get a wonderfully sonic acoustic instrument with strong frequencies across the spectrum.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eMaton Messiah Series\u003c\/strong\u003e is a great alternative tonal register to their native hardwoods. As intended with all Maton guitars, a strong balance across tonal registers, but with more bottom end. Perfect for songwriters!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe proprietary \u003cstrong\u003eMaton \"808\" body shape\u003c\/strong\u003e 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 \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 EM100c 808 Messiah\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e 808 W\/Cutaway\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoundboard:\u003c\/strong\u003e \"AAA\" Grade Sitka Spruce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRosette:\u003c\/strong\u003e Herringbone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBracing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Scalloped Maton X\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBack and Sides:\u003c\/strong\u003e Indian Rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOuter Binding:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blackwood w\/Maple Pinstripe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInner Binding:\u003c\/strong\u003e Herringbone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck: \u003c\/strong\u003eMahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 64.77cm (25.5\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeadstock Veneer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ebony, Maple Pinstripe\/Keyhole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFingerboard \u0026amp;
