Maton SRS808 Guitar Western Red Cedar and Solid Blackwood AP5 Pro ID-10123

Maton SRS 808 Western Red Cedar and Solid BlackwoodThe Maton SRS 808 incorporates solid Blackwood back and sides and a Western Red Cedar top. The SRS 808 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.
