Maton MASTER BUILT L.E. May Traditional Cutaway - 16899

   This iconic model carries over tradition from the Maton W.A. May, in their new Master Built L.E. May, a tribute to Linda May, born to Vera and Bill May the year Maton Guitars began. The deep-body 000 or “Traditional” shape that this incarnation takes on is arguably it’s most classical and stylistic form to date. The body style offers the player substantial full-sized presence, with versatile tone, in a very comfortable guitar.  

   The May Signature 3 layered Deco style headstock sits atop this model proudly as it did on Bill's very first Maton guitar (still in the Maton Museum 70 years on). The L.E. May Features a European Spruce Top with Figured Blackwood back and sides. A stunning and often favored combination of timber that is truly symbolic of Maton’s Australian heritage.

   Satin Box Wood body binding is a species also native to Australia. This unique tree grows under the canopy of Victorian Blackwood. When the Blackwood tree has grown to maturity and is harvested, the Satin Box tree comes into its own.
 
   The body depth on the L.E. May is similar to the 808 models, measuring 4-5/8" deep at the end block. It is deeper than standard 000’s and as such creates a bigger voice with plenty of bottom end, with a full register of sonic ranges on show.

Nice for the price
Size: Medium, Color: B004
I really like the LALESTE Women’s Boyshort Underwear overall! They’re super comfortable, soft, and have great full coverage—perfect for everyday wear. The material feels stretchy and smooth, and they stay in place without digging in or riding up. Definitely a solid option if you like a more covered, secure fit. My only downside is that they are a bit too high-rise for my personal preference. They come up higher than I expected, so if you prefer a lower-rise fit, just keep that in mind. Other than that, the quality and comfort are great, and I still find myself reaching for them often!
