Maton Master Built T.E. Personal Tommy Emmanuel Signature Acoustic Electric Guitar

The Maton Master Built T.E. Personal is a signature instrument that honors the legendary artistry of Tommy Emmanuel with masterful construction and extraordinary tone. As part of Maton's elite Master Built series, this guitar is hand-voiced and meticulously crafted by Maton’s most experienced luthiers, led by Head of R&D Patrick Evans. Featuring hand-selected AAAA-grade Sitka spruce and figured Queensland maple, this 808-size model captures Tommy's iconic tone with outstanding clarity, responsiveness, and sustain.

Designed to meet the demands of professional performance, the T.E. Personal offers scalloped Maton X bracing for optimal resonance and balance, rosewood fingerboard and bridge, and a stylish walnut headstock veneer inlaid with pearl kangaroo and logo. The AP5 PRO pickup system ensures it sounds as incredible plugged in as it does unplugged, making it a true stage-ready masterpiece. Finished in a satin Honey Face top with natural back and sides, the T.E. Personal is a visually stunning tribute to one of the world’s greatest players.
