Maton SRS 808 C
Product information "Maton SRS 808 C"
The Maton SRS808 features solid Blackwood back and sides with a spruce top. The SRS808 is an absolutely beautiful small-bodied guitar, combining the warm, full tones of Blackwood with the clarity of a spruce top.
A forward-shifted X-bracing and the relocation of the scalloping points to specific nodes around the top help to enhance the top's vibration. The shift of the X-bracing also allowed for the addition of a second, parallel beam that distributes the wood's load evenly while reducing the guitar's overall mass.
The new 808 series sounds much bigger than a small-bodied guitar should.
The result of this development is a guitar that astonishes the player on the first strike and continues to impress as you play, with every aspect of the instrument's tone meeting and exceeding the player's expectations.
