Maton Guitars PRE-OWNED EBG-808-TE Tommy Emmanuel - 17092

If they were passing out awards for "road warrior" Maton guitars, this 2014 808-TE model would have earned its place in history.

Originally sold when new to one of our local Maton fans, it has returned home to start a new journey.

Worth noting, this Tommy Emmanuel Signature 808 has been well played, yet it has excellent action and sounds great. Here are the details:

  • The factory satin nitro finish has numerous "shiny areas" as do most Maton guitars that have been played. The areas captured in our photos are pretty standard, back of the neck, bass side lower bout, and a small area on back of the bass side (where it would lean in to your body while sitting).
  • The action measures 5/64" at the 12th fret Low E and 2/32" for the High E. The original bone saddle has been lowered slightly, and these string height measurements include some positive relief (plenty of distance remaining in the truss rod to setup even lower).
  • There is some slight fret wear on the 2nd string, frets 1 through 3.
  • At some point in its life, the soundboard (top) center seam had separated, likely due to not being properly humidified during one of Nashville's harsh winters. It has been professionally cleated and is stable.
  • The AP5-Pro electronics have been tested and function as new.
  • Comes with an original Hiscox Flight case branded with the Maton logo, case candy, and original keys.
  • Overall condition is very good for its age (12 years old).

This pre-owned Maton will make someone a nice addition to their collection and the opportunity to explore what Maton has to offer, with an attractive price.

As was the spec in 2014, this EBG-808-TE was built with Indian Rosewood bridge and fingerboard (specs changed around 2016-17). This adds a bit of warmth to the tone.

The Maton AP5-Pro Electronics

In its 5th generation, the AP5 Pro features an internal Microphone and 6-Piezo bridge input, with controls that allow for blending of both microphone and piezo levels prior to sending the actively combined signals through the well engineered pre-amp.

The highly selective cardioid microphone system allows for much greater microphone level before feedback in live environments. This upgraded AP5-Pro microphone is direct mounted to the pre-amp casing with an adjustable arm, which permits easy final tweaking of microphone position to suit the individual artist's playing style.

Using the ‘Sweep-able Mid’ controls. Mid-range is sweep-able from 600Hz to 2.4kHz and can be cut or boosted within this range. As a general rule we start out with all settings ‘flat’ then alter them to achieve the desired tone & presence based on the venue or recording environment. For example, an open, natural sound can be achieved by setting the frequency control at 1.4khz and the boost/cut control at 5db. Alternatively, for a ‘thick’ lead sound boost your mid's by 5db and set the frequency dial at 1.7kh.

Works once again!
Size: Compact Car, Mid-size Sedan
Third time using TireJect on a vehicle, and it's worked perfectly each time. First was the off-road formula for leaking motorcycle tire beads.... then this formula my light SUV with a slow leak until I could get the tire replaced. This was for a stubborn tire that had a leak SOMEWHERE, and usually would lose 10-15 psi overnight after a fill-up. Two days later, still fully inflated and no signs of trouble. This is great because this formulation is also okay for tire pressure sensors. Will continue to purchase this product for similar issues going forward. High quality, durability, and easy to use.

Works like a champ!
Size: Full-size Truck, SUV
It works great! I had one fairly slow leak and 2 very slow leaks. 3 Tires. 2 were on my 94 Ford Ranger. I put a little more than 1/2 the packet in my fastest leaking tire (on the Ranger) and about 1/4 of the packet in the 2nd tire of the same vehicle. Lastly, I put the final 1/4 in a very slow leaking tire on my 2000 Ford F-150. All tires have stopped leaking!! I am delighted with the effectiveness of this product!!

Seems to have done a great job.
Size: Full-size Truck, SUV (2-pack)
One of our cars has suffered from rim leaks and was driving me nuts. Constantly being asked by my wife to top off the tires on her car. When I replaced a damaged rim I asked the tire shop to look for the source of the leaks. They said the "alloy" rims had started to corrode and did their best to get them to seal but warned me they would likely leak again. This spring when I removed her snow tires I found 3 of her 4 tires had gone completely flat in storage. The fourth was the new rim which was fine. I considered buying new rims that won't have this problem but wanted to wait until her times need to be replaced. The batteries in the TPMS sensors are getting very low so likely these will need to be replaced as well. I thought to try some sort of sealant. Most of the products I saw were not rated for automotive systems and offered warnings about risk to the TMPS sensors. This seemed to be the only product rated for my application and claimed it would not harm our car's sensors. So I gave it a shot. I ordered the SUV package that came with an injector and two 8-oz bottles. I put 4 oz in each tire per the instructions. Overall the process was easy except the valve core extractor broken on one of the tires. I had to pick up a replacement at a local auto parts store. Also, injecting the sealant creates a small amount of pressure in the tire that, if one doesn't release by drawing out the plunger, will burp a small amount of sealant onto the rims. Fairly easy to clean up with WARM water and easier to avoid after the first experience. Drove the car around at a variety of speeds for 10-15 minutes (had errands to run) and waited to see what happened. Great results. Weeks later and the tires still have the correct pressure. I am not sure how long this will last but hopefully for the remaining life of the tires at least. I took one star off for easy of use / easy to install because the valve core extractor is made of extremely cheap aluminum and I am sure others will have a poor experience with it. Be forewarned and consider buying one before you start jacking up your car and letting the air out of the tires only to find you break the tool on a sticky valve core and are unable to complete the job without a trip to the auto parts store. I'll update this review in about a year to report on the long-term outlook for this product.

It Works!
Size: Full-size Truck, SUV
When I bought my vehicle it didn't come with a spare. I knew what I was in for. I was on my way to an important meeting and as fate would have, the tire pressure indicator reported a flat. I imagined the worst but experienced the best! The directions said to let all the air out of tire and remove the valve stem core, it seemed like I was making a bad situation worse. Then it said to attach the tube to the stem and squeeze the contents into the tire. I thought "this is never going to work" the fluid seemed too watery to seal anything, but I followed instructions, I reinstalled the valve core and reinflated the tire, and it worked! I expected it to leak immediately, it didn't. It lasted all day and most of the next day until I could get the tire to the shop. They removed a nail and patched the hole, overall I'm very satisfied, I bought a replacement right away, just in case!

Better than the green goo
Size: Full-size Truck, SUV (2-pack)
Recently, while I was at work, I noticed that I had at some point run over a nail with my car. Normally, you'd take your car to the tire shop and let them plug the hole for you. Well, the only problem was that the nail decided that it was going to poke my tire where the sidewall meets the tread, and most shops will refuse to plug a tire when it's punctured there. Makes sense, it's a liability issue for them, so I can't blame them. That still leaves me with the problem of having a tire with a nail in it. So, I could either replace the tire with either a new or used tire, which is expensive or I can try using a sealant to try and get as many miles out of my tire as I can. In the past, I had tried using the green goo sealant on nail holes, and while it works to get you 15 miles down the road, that's about it. Now, while TireJect doesn't recommend using their product on punctures on the shoulder of the tire, I decided that I'd give it a try to see if it would work. And as of writing this review, it's been about 10 days since I put TireJect in my tire, and so far, it hasn't leaked any air, despite it not being meant for the shoulder. When money isn't so tight, I'll probably go ahead and replace the tire, especially since there's only about 4/32 tread depth left, but for the time being, I'll keep running it, and hopefully it keeps holding pressure properly like it has been. Now, as for how easy it is to use, the only tools you will need that aren't provided, is an air compressor to allow you to re-inflate the tire. The kit comes with everything else you will need, including a valve core removal tool and a syringe to add the sealant to your tire. To use this product, you will first need to carefully remove the valve core with the provided tool, careful not to lose the core, since it doesn't come with a replacement core. After that, thread the hose on the syringe on to your valve stem, and then carefully add the required amount of sealant to the syringe. If you accidentally spill some, wipe it off before it dries, so that it doesn't stain anything. From there, just push the goo into the tire with the plunger, adding more to the syringe as necessary. When you're all done, re-install the valve core into the valve stem snuggly, careful not to over-tighten, and air up the tire to the recommended PSI with your compressor. After all that is done, go take a short, slow drive to distribute the sealant, and then recheck your air pressure.
