Description
Maton SRS-808C Sunburst Acoustic/Electric Guitar
The NEW Maton SRS808c incorporates solid Blackwood back and sides, a Western Red Cedar top and a soft cutaway. The SRS 808c is an absolutely beautiful little guitar and combines the warm, full tones of Blackwood with the top end sparkle of Cedar.
A forward shifting of the X braces and the shifting of scallop peaks to nodal points around the soundboard help to enhance the vibration of the top. The shifting of the X braces also allowed the inclusion of a second, parallel tone bar which allows the scalloping of both tone bars, and spreads the load while reducing mass.
Adjusted bracing heights, as well as a locked 15 foot radius for the arch of the back, has provided the plate resonance separation Maton were looking for between top and back; giving them the full, open, lower frequency response they were looking for – as well as a crisp, well defined treble response.
The new 808 series sounds a whole lot bigger than a small bodied guitar should. This is a guitar that amazes the player at first strum, then continues to impress as each aspect of the sound of the guitar meets and surpasses the player’s expectation.
