Maton TE 2 Tommy Emmanuel Artist Sitka Spruce and Maple The Maton TE series guitars are an outstanding tribute to Tommy Emmanuel’s musicianship and Maton’s superior craftsmanship. Built to Tommy’s specifications the Maton TE series provides the huge tone and performance you would expect from a guitar bearing this legend's name. With a bit different combination of Sitka Spruce and maple, this guitar performs and sounds absolutley wonderful. Clear high range tones with very supportive low and mid range tones with balance across the board. Using the ‘Sweepable Mid’ controls. Midrange is sweepable from 1 to 2khz and can be cut or boosted within this range. As a general rule for the system should start out ‘flat’ then be altered to achieve the tone desires. For example, an open, natural sound can be achieved by setting the frequency control at 1.4khz and the boost/cut control at 5db. Alternatively, for a ‘thick’ lead sound boost your mids by 5db and set the frequency dial at 1.7kh​ This instrument is in Great Condition with some light surface scratches on the top as well as a repaired crack at the center seam.
