EBG808A W/ Case : Maton EBG808A

A great guitar with an exceptional sound.

First off, the craftsmanship on this guitar is amazing. Every little detail is catered for, from the gold hardware, amazing woods (grain on back is unbelievable), fretboard and neck. When you hold this guitar it gives you an experience of playing a high quality instrument, something unique.

Sound wise it is also very good. Despite having a smaller than average body, its tone is full and well defined. This combined with and an awesome in built pickup (which include both a mic and a Piezo) make the guitar ideal for live performances (very comfortable) and even studio use.

I gave a 4 on quality, since it is very sensitive to weather / humidity changes. My advice is to use a humidifier and try keeping it at a constant temperature, otherwise you will have to adjust it every now and then.

Other than that, I would 're-buy' this instrument in an instance, no wonder Tommy Emmanuel endorses this company.
