{"product_id":"maton-srs808","title":"Maton SRS808 Road Series Acoustic Electric Guitar w\/Case - Natural Satin","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Maton SRS808 incorporates solid Blackwood back and sides and a Spruce top. The SRS808 is an absolutely beautiful little guitar and combines the warm, full tones of Blackwood with the top end clarity of Spruce\u003cbr\u003eA 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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAdjusted bracing heights as well as a locked15 foot radius for the arch of the back, gave us the plate resonance separation we were looking for between top and back.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWe now have the full, open, lower frequency response we were looking for as well as a crisp, well defined treble response.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSRS808 SPECS\u003cbr\u003eModel: SRS808\u003cbr\u003eBody Shape: 808\u003cbr\u003eSoundboard: Spruce\u003cbr\u003eBack and Sides: Blackwood\u003cbr\u003eNeck: Queensland Maple\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard \u0026amp; Bridge: Streaky Ebony\u003cbr\u003eBracing: Scalloped Maton X\u003cbr\u003eFace Inlay\/Rosette: Sapele Ring\u003cbr\u003eSoundhole: 95mm\u003cbr\u003eInner Binding: None\u003cbr\u003eOuter Binding: Black\u003cbr\u003eScale Length: 64.77cm (25.5\")\u003cbr\u003eHeadstock Veneer: Standard w\/ 2mm Sapele Veneer\u003cbr\u003eFretwire: Jescar FW43080\u003cbr\u003eNumber of Frets: 21\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Radius: 304.8mm (12\")\u003cbr\u003eNut Width: 44.1mm (1.736\" - 1 47\/64\")\u003cbr\u003e14th Fret: Width 55mm (2.165\" - 2 11\/64\")\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Inlays: 6mm Pearl Dots\u003cbr\u003eBack \u0026amp; Sides Finish: Natural Satin\u003cbr\u003eTop Finish: Natural Satin\u003cbr\u003eBridge Pins: Ivory ABS\u003cbr\u003eMachine Heads: Chrome Grover Rotomatic\u003cbr\u003ePickguard: Tortoiseshell with Gold M\u003cbr\u003eEnd Pin\/Strap: Chrome\u003cbr\u003eNut \u0026amp; Saddle: Bone\u003cbr\u003eCase: Standard Maton Hardcase\u003cbr\u003ePickup: AP5-PRO\u003cbr\u003eStrings: Elixir Nanoweb Phosphor Bronze 12-53.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maton","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44430457831517,"sku":"935028000247","price":2136.55,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0736\/8179\/7213\/files\/srs808._headlinepng.png?v=1778341067","url":"https:\/\/gearstage.store\/products\/maton-srs808","provider":"GearStage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
