GitterPicker is one of only a few retailers in the United States where you can play and purchase the EBG808TE guitar by Australia's Maton Guitar Company. This is the number one Maton guitar sold in the USA!

While the Maton Tommy Emmanuel models can be difficult to find in the USA, GitterPicker imports them from Australia and will ship one directly to you.

If you've ever seen Tommy Emmanuel perform you will know he is one of the world's greatest guitarists, and one of the most inspirational musicians on the planet.  It takes a great guitar to meet the demands of such a great player. Tommy chooses Maton to build his work-horse guitar - the EBG808TE.  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!

The Maton EBG808TE features 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 living guitarists in the world - John Knowles, Jerry Reed and Steve Warriner.
