If you've ever seen Tommy Emmanuel perform, you know he's one of the world's greatest guitarists and one of the most inspiring musicians in the world.
It takes a great guitar to keep up with the demands of such a great player. Designed in conjunction with Tommy Emmanuel, the TE Series guitars are an outstanding tribute to Tommy's musicality and Maton's superior craftsmanship. Built to Tommy's specifications, the TE Series offers the huge tone and performance you'd expect from a guitar bearing this name.
Tommy seeks a guitar with excellent tone, capable of the most delicate expression and fiercest attack. The neck must remain straight no matter the rigors of international travel and the guitar must perform at its peak, from Rome to Nashville, to Sydney!
The Tommy Emmanuel models feature a mother-of-pearl block inlay at the 12th fret, engraved with "C.G.P.". This abbreviation stands for "Certified Guitar Player", a title awarded to Tommy by Chet Atkins and held by only three other guitarists in the world: John Knowles, Jerry Reed and Steve Warriner.
The guitar comes in a hardshell case with certificate of authenticity.
