Maton EA808 'Australian' Acoustic Electric Guitar

The Maton EA808 'Australian' Acoustic Electric Guitar is a celebration of native tonewoods and exceptional craftsmanship, refined over more than five decades of instrument building. With its all-solid construction and dreadnought cutaway body, the EA808 delivers a dynamic, resonant tone that showcases the natural voice of Australia's finest timbers. A solid Bunya top offers punch and warmth, while the Blackwood back and sides add clarity, projection, and a deep low-end that balances beautifully across the tonal range.

Crafted for both performance and visual impact, the EA808 features a Desert Acacia fingerboard and bridge, a rock maple and Blackwood pinstripe backstrip, and tortoiseshell-style body binding for understated elegance. The Blackwood neck provides smooth playability, and the onboard AP5 PRO pickup system ensures the guitar’s acoustic tone translates flawlessly to any stage or studio environment. Whether you're a seasoned player or a collector, the EA808 embodies Maton’s proud tradition of sustainable, Australian-made excellence.
