Maton Guitars EBG-808-TEC Tommy Emmanuel Cutaway - 16561

If you've ever seen Tommy Emmanuel perform you will know he is one of the world's greatest guitarists, and one of the most inspirational musicians on the planet.

It takes a great guitar to meet the demands of such a great player. Designed in collaboration with Tommy Emmanuel, the TE series guitars are an outstanding tribute to Tommy's musicianship and Maton's superior craftsmanship. Built to Tommy's specifications, 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!
 
The Tommy Emmanuel models feature a Mother of Pearl block inlay on the 12th Fret, engraved with "C.G.P." The acronym stands for "Certified Guitar Player," a title bestowed on Tommy by Chet Atkins and held by only 3 other guitarists in the world - John Knowles, Jerry Reed, and Steve Wariner.

The Maton EBG-808-TEC bears an 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 as Mahogany.
 
A 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.

The proprietary Maton "808" body shape 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

The Maton AP5-Pro Electronics

In its 5th generation, the AP5 Pro 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.

The 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.

Using 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 & 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.

Great for a Pitball
Pattern Name: Octopus
I have a Pitbull and she absolutely loves this toy. I always wait a while before giving a review. She has had this toy Since the beginning of July and she is still playing with this toy. It does have little holes but it is still going. She loves it. Playing tug of war with her. I also take it and wrap it around her collar and watch her dance around trying to get it out(I don't leave it there long). This a great buy. I also bought and extra one so when this one does finally dies she will have another. The material is strong, The sound is about normal for a squeaky toy.

Cute, but not tough enough.
Pattern Name: Octopus
This toy is cute, my pug loves it, and I like how the legs are strong but the top of the octopuses head isn't tough enough which is worrisome because thats where the squeaker is. It might work out for a smaller dog though.

Fun Resilient Chew Toy
Pattern Name: Octopus
I have a boxer/pit mix and she loves this! I bought it 4 months ago and it’s still going strong so I know it’s quality made and perfect for dogs that like to chew and play tug of war. It has been chew resistant for my girl and she loves the little squeak. I just throw it in the washer when I wash her bed. Great value and a safe toy that’s a good size for a medium to large dog.
