The Maton SRS808 consists of solid blackwood bottom and sides and a spruce top. The SRS808 is an absolutely beautiful little guitar, combining the warm, full tones of blackwood with the clarity of the spruce top.
top Shifted Moving the X-bracing also allowed for the inclusion of a second, parallel beam that evenly distributes the load of the wood while reducing the overall mass of the guitar.
The new 808 series sounds much bigger than a small body guitar should.
The result of further development is a guitar that amazes the player when first picked up and then continues to impress as every aspect of the guitar's sound meets and exceeds the player's expectations.

The guitars in the Maton SRS series have a top made of quality Class A Sitka spruce and a bottom and sides made of Tasmanian Blackwood. Blackwood belongs to the Acacia family and is therefore a close relative of the famous Hawaiian Koa wood. In some cases it also has a beautiful grain similar to its Hawaiian relative. Maton 's specially designed AP5 Pro pickup and pre-amp system always ensures perfect sound, even on stage.
From a small backyard workshop in 1946, Maton Guitars has grown into a truly great Australian success story. Maton currently employs around 70 people and is still 100% family owned and operated. We at session are big fans of the company and are pleased to be able to offer a large selection of high quality Maton guitars.
