Maton EBG808 TE Cutaway Tommy Emmanuel Acoustic Guitar

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 rigours of international travel and the guitar needs to perform at its peak, from Rome, to Nashville, to Sydney! Our 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 Warriner. Tommy has done Australia proud and we are honoured that he continues to use Maton as his guitar of choice.
