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.

Children's outerwear, a must have .. excellent quality, fit & price!
Size: X-Small, Color: White
One of the very best pull over sweatshirts I've come across. Quality fabric with an amazing cut & fit that rises above the standard, more boxy cut of children's sweatshirts I've purchased in the past. With an 8 year old granddaughter that's constantly on the go & is never cold lol, I needed a piece of outerwear that wasn't too thick, bulky or restrictive that she'd forget she was wearing. A piece of clothing that would keep her warm yet comfortable, thru out her day & boy did I hit the jackpot. All of the above plus an overall amazing fit & stylish look I wasn't expecting but could tell she absolutely loved. An added bonus, after at least 15 or more washes to-date, it still looks & fits as good as it did the very first time she wore it. I've since purchased other similar items but none compare. An excellent buy !!!!

Great fit and comfortable for gym class
Size: X-Large, Color: Bright Pink
My daughter wore this for her gym class and it fit her really well. She didn’t complain about it being tight or uncomfortable, and she loved the color. The material feels soft and lightweight, and it held up well after washing. I’d buy it again in another color.

A very adorable, exceptional quality sweatshirt for a inexpensive price, bought two
Size: Small, Color: Light Mauve
I bought two of these for my granddaughters as well as iron on stickers from Amazon to put their initials on the front of the shirt. The sweatshirts were some of the best quality I’ve ever seen from the stitching, to the thickness, softness. And not to mention the price.

Great hoodie
Size: Large, Color: Navy
Got this hoodie for my son and he’s been living in it ever since. It’s thick, warm, and fits really well. The color looks even better in person, and it’s held up after a few washes with no fading or shrinking. You can tell it’s good quality by the stitching and feel. Definitely worth it if you want something that’s both cozy and stylish.
