Maton - SRS808The Maton SRS808 incorporates solid Blackwood back and sides and a Spruce top. 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, gave us the plate resonance separation we were looking for between top and back. We now have the full, open, lower frequency response we 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. We were hoping the end of this journey would produce 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.Guitar Name: SRS808Series Name: SRS - Solid Road SeriesProduct Code: SRS808Body Shape: 808Face: "A" Grade SpruceBack And Sides: BlackwoodSoundhole Diameter: 95mmNeck: Queensland MapleFingerboard And Bridge: Streaky EbonyBracing: Scalloped Maton XFace Inlay Rosette: Sapele RingBinding: BlackScale Length: 25.5"Headstock Veneer: Standard w/ 2mm SapeleFretwire: Jescar FW43080Number Of Frets: 21Fretboard Radius: 12"Nut Width: 1.736" - 1 47/64"14th Fret Width: 2.165" - 2 11/64Fingerboard Inlays: 6mm Pearl DotsBack And Sides Finish: Satin/NaturalTop Finish: Satin/NaturalBridge Pins: Ivory ABSMachine Heads: Chrome Grover RotomaticPickguard: Tortoiseshell with Gold MEnd Pin Strap: ChromeNut And Saddle: BoneGuitar Case: Standard Maton CasePickup: AP5-PROStrings: Elixir Nanoweb Phospher Bronze 12 - 53
