Noted for being the guitar of choice for country artist Keith Urban, the EGB808 Nashville is a Swiss army knife of an instrument.  It’s top is functionally the size of an OM, and its tone wood compliment provide a pleasing, treble and mid frequency forward tonality, while its full 25.5” scale length give it all the projection and bite of its dreadnought relatives.  However, this instrument is perhaps best utilized plugged in, as it sports Maton’s famous AP5 Pro pickup, which is an active hybrid system that utilizes a bridge mounted piezo, and an internal microphone, that are blendable, providing a warm, transparent tone that is more feedback resistant than your standard internal microphone.   

Cosmetic Condition:
This guitar was meticulously cared for by its previous owner, and as such shows only the most minor signs of playwear.  Notably there is some scuffing of the pickguard as well as a few scattered, small dings.  Additionally, the strap button was moved from the heelcap to a more appropriate location on the side of the heel, with the original hole remaining.  As such we would consider this instrument to be in EXCELLENT  condition.
