I've owned a Maton Tommy Emmanuel Signature TE2 for many years now and it is the most amazing sounding acoustic guitar I've ever played. The tone is absolute perfection

Hi Tommy. Thanks for the behind-the-scenes look at your guitar. And thank-you so much for your many enjoyable musical compositions. What a pleasure it is to watch you perform! Bet wishes from British Columbia, and we'll see you in Vancouver in May!

Guys, this is not TE's channel and even if it was, he doesn't have time to answer comments on the internet. Due to his style of playing his main guitars usually do not «live» longer than 5 years.
@enikita11 жыл бұрын
I am certainly not Tommy but I still can answer your question. If you are a practicing musician and you really play a lot (4-5 hours a day) then you should change strings as often as you can, every two weeks or every time you feel you are losing the tone. If you play just for your own pleasure at home (like me:) then you can stretch it to once a month or even more :) Tommy changes strings before EVERY performance - he is very demanding and new strings is the simplest way to sound better.

went to four workshops and one masterclass with Tommy. He uses an AER compact 60 amp and a couple Maton guitars. The sound man adds reverb to taste.Nothing fancy.He used to used a midiverb when he played Initation,setting 98,but not a whole lot else is going on.

I've got to get a Maton they are great. Tommy's description of the Truss Rod Key cracked me up, "the tool that straightens the neck" He's a great musician but a guitar tech he'll never be.

Active preamp. The piezo/mic picks up the signal, the preamp amplifies it and it goes further to the amp/rack/colourisers he uses.

For the audio adjustment panel on the guitar. Most Acoustic Electrics require a battery.

He fixes them until there's nothing left to fix! The "Mouse" (the well-worn 808) was only retired last year after MANY years of HARD use, many re-frets and body repairs. Matons are built tough. I plan to have my new 808TE for the rest of my life to then be handed down to my son. They are superb instruments.

He's been using Matons for a lot of years. i.pinimg.com/originals/95/aa/93/95aa933d4e17af6830032b2c9c22ff37.jpg (Tommy as a child with a Maton Electric) misterguitar.us/news/images/Tommy2.jpg - Unknown age. Here in aus, they're a well respected brand. With users like Tommy, Neil Finn, Josh Homme & John Butler they're not really something I'd call an 'inferior guitar.'
