Maton Guitars PRE-OWNED EBG-808-C Cutaway - 17120

CURRENTLY ON HOLD

Late in the 1970's, Graham Russel (Air Supply) wrote the chart topping hit, All Out of Love. It was recorded on a Maton BG-808 model (pre-electronic era).

24 years ago, Maton was building an early production model of their EBG Series with onboard electronics for live performance. This guitar, Serial # 1717 was completed in August of 2002.

The basic specifications appear as a prelude to what would become today's EBG-808 Artist model, featuring their legacy "keyhole" headstock shape, Victorian Blackwood back & sides, it was built with an early rendition of their legendary AP5 electronic. It must have been a top of the line model at that time, fitted with a Hiscox flight case made in the UK.

In the two decades since it was built, this Maton EBG-808C has been someone's tool. The top soundboard seam had been cleated. The current finish, played through in some spots, is evidence of time well spent. Clearly someone's prized possession for many years, this is not some pawn shop guitar.

We have refurbished this Maton EBG-808C to give it a new life, and to find it a new home:

  • Professional setup, with new bone saddle. It now conforms to Maton factory setup (3/32" to 5/64" at the 12th fret).
  • Re-glued the bridge and dressed the frets (currently zero fret wear).
  • Replaced the vintage electronics with an entirely new AP5-Pro system.
  • Fitted with a fresh, new, Maton hard-shell case.
  • Elixir 16052 Phosphor Bronze Lights .012-.053

Some of us like guitars that come with a story. We don't know the whole story, though I am sure it has more miles to go and songs to play.

About the Artist, from Maton's website... "We cannot overstate the power and the punch of the BG808 Series. Within the smaller shape lies a mighty bass response and a focused projection, ideally suited for the recording studio. Since 1978, the 808 series has stood the test of time and is now available in several different tone-wood configurations.

With a sound board of "AAA" grade solid Sitka spruce, solid Blackwood back and sides and one of the world's finest acoustic pickups in the AP5-PRO. With its dominant live tone The EBG808 Artist is the guitar of choice for players all over the world."

The Maton AP5-Pro Electronics

In its 5th generation, the AP5 Pro features an internal Microphone and 6-Piezo bridge input, with controls that allow for blending of both microphone and piezo levels prior to sending the actively combined signals through the well engineered pre-amp.

The highly selective cardioid microphone system allows for much greater microphone level before feedback in live environments. The upgraded AP5-Pro microphone is direct mounted to the pre-amp casing with an adjustable swing arm, which permits easy final tweaking of microphone position to suit the individual artist's playing style.

Controls are at your fingertips, and their 'resistance curves' have been specially designed and manufactured expressly for the AP5-Pro. As a result, the Bass, Treble and MID are now much more 'linear' in feel. The FQ (Mid Sweep) now goes down much lower and has a much wider frequency band ( 600Hz to 2.4kHz ) to give greater control when targeting your specific sound.

Great quality!
Style: Dual Dash Cam Without Card
I’m really impressed with this dash cam! The video quality is super clear both during the day and at night — you can see details perfectly. The dual camera captures both the road and the inside of the car, which gives me extra peace of mind. Setup was very easy, and the screen is bright and easy to navigate. The wide-angle lens covers a lot of area, and the loop recording and G-sensor features work flawlessly. Great value for the price — definitely recommend this one!

Spend a little more, this ain't it chief.
Style: Dual Dash Cam Without Card
Cheapest I could find with supposed " solid functionality and features. " You'll be much better off spending 10$ or $20 more to get readable license plates and a dash cam that doesn't break after 2 days. Unit started flashing the forward facing camera image constantly but still displayed the rear camera. Either a bad unit or overall bad engineering. Not worth risking it on another unit for me. Insulation was easy, night vision wasn't very good at all, pretty standard using it, similar to other cheap dash cams with a much shorter life.

Easy set up
Style: Dual Dash Cam Without Card
It’s not great quality, but it does the trick for filming any bad drivers that try to con you in an accident and you need evidence. You get what you pay for, but I feel much more at ease driving with this thing recording.

good camera
Style: Dual Dash Cam Without Card
I'm in love with this camera! I've wanted to put one in my car for a long time for my safety, and I absolutely love this one. It's very easy to install, the setup was simple, and the video quality is excellent; everything looks sharp, both during the day and at night. The camera is small, but you can remove the micro SD card and put it in your computer, and everything looks perfect. I feel much calmer and safer driving knowing that everything is being recorded.
