There is only one thing that will make you better......practice and lots of it.

Very good advice!!!

Also, dont try and jump in the deep end straight away. Start with something is really easy and practice till you master it, then move onto something a little harder, then master that. Starting in the deepend gets you very discouraged.

I have been playing for about 8 years and my guitar teaching still gives me the same advice.

keep at it!!

i have a photo of my Maton EM808 label. Is it the same as the EBG808 with some custom mods??

Hi Ray,

Could you post a pic of that label, or the whole guitar?

The EBG808 from memory has
SOUNDBOARD: Solid AA Grade Sitka Spruce
BACK & SIDES: Solid Blackwood or Solid Queensland Maple
NECK: Queensland Maple
FINGERBOARD: Rosewood with Dot inlays
BRIDGE: Rosewood
HEADSTOCK: Blackwood Keyhole
BINDING: Ivory or Blackwood outer binding, Quadruple inner binding
ROSETTE: Herringbone
FINISH: Satin Nitro Cellulose
MACHINE HEADS: Chrome Grover Rotomatic
PICKUP: AP5

Thats how i remember them coming out as standard.
I havent heard of the Em808, but id suggest that it is the same as a EBG808 if your guitar has the same stats as i listed above.

Does your guitar have Solid back and sides, otr lamenated? that'd be a good start.

Hope that helps a little!

Ollie.

Good idea, post a pic mate.

I am no Maton buff but I would assume that your particular guitar has the 808 shape with custom options. If you can find out the types of wood ect used it would be a good start. The other thing coud be that it has the body shape of an 808 but a diferent scale length........possibly the same as the em series.
