This Maton EBG808 is easy to play even at higher frets and some people like it because it's low action produces the "boom-chick" sound very well.

The top is solid Sitka Spruce AAA grade and back and sides are solid Australian Blackwood I believe.

Good for fingerpicking styles.
It's my understanding the back and sides are Queensland Maple, a wood indigenous to Australia.
