Maton EBG808 TSB w/ AP5 Pro Pickup (Satin Tobacco Sunburst)

The Maton EBG808 TSB with AP5 Pro represents Australian lutherie at its most refined, pairing a Grand Auditorium-inspired 808 body with premium locally sourced tonewoods. AA Select grade Sitka spruce faces blackwood back and sides, delivering a balanced voice that responds equally well to fingerstyle articulation and flatpicked attack. The tobacco sunburst satin finish highlights the natural grain while the scalloped X-bracing ensures maximum top movement and dynamic range. Maton's proprietary AP5 Pro pickup system provides studio-grade amplified tone with five-band EQ, phase control, and tuner output. Built around a select Queensland maple neck with Indian rosewood fingerboard, the EBG808 offers a 304.8mm (12") radius and 21 Dunlop 6260 frets across a 64.77cm scale length. The nut width measures 44.1mm, widening to 55mm at the 14th fret for comfortable chord voicings and lead work. Chrome Grover Rotomatic machine heads anchor Elixir Nanoweb phosphor bronze 12-53 strings, while bone nut and saddle transfer string energy with maximum clarity. Herringbone rosette inlay and triple pinstripe inner binding contrast against the black outer binding and keyhole headstock with 2mm blackwood veneer. The 95mm soundhole and scalloped Maton X-bracing work in tandem to balance projection with tonal complexity, producing rich lows and clear treble definition without midrange sag. The AP5 Pro system integrates discreetly at the soundhole, preserving acoustic resonance while offering comprehensive amplified control. Supplied in a standard Maton hardcase, the EBG808 arrives ready for stage, studio, or home recording applications where both unplugged authenticity and plugged-in versatility matter.
