Maton TE Tommy Emmanuel 'Personal' Custom Shop

Expertly built with a no pressure no compromise approach to guitar craftsmanship, this very top of the line Maton TE Personal uses only the very best woods, and boasts uncompromising quality to produce an ultimate playing and listening experience. A guitarists dream, this artist inspired and influenced model has been blessed with incredible woods that include some carefully chosen spruce in the top with home grown Queensland maple in back and sides. Taking the Maton characteristically expressive and perfectly balanced highly musical sound to the next level, this 808 body size TE Personal is a rather special guitar.

It takes a great guitar to meet the demands of such a great player. Designed in conjunction with guitar great Tommy Emmanuel, the TE series guitars are an outstanding tribute to Tommy's musicianship and Maton's superior craftsmanship. Built to Tommys specifications, the TE series provides the huge tone and performance you would expect from a guitar bearing the name.

Tommy looks for a guitar with superb tone, capable of the most delicate expression as well as the most ferocious attack. The neck must stay true regardless of the rigours of international travel and the guitar needs to perform at its peak, from Rome, to Nashville, to Sydney!

Our Tommy Emmanuel models feature a Mother of Pearl block inlay on the 12th Fret, engraved with "C.G.P." The acronym stands for "Certified Guitar Player," a title bestowed on Tommy by Chet Atkins and held by only 3 other guitarists in the world - John Knowles, Jerry Reed and Steve Warriner.
