Maton Vera May Special 808

The matriarch of Maton Guitars and the wife of founder Bill May, Vera May, turns 100. To celebrate, Maton released one of the most beautiful guitars they've ever produced. This new guitar is not only a superb instrument, but also a very special part of Maton’s story.

The 808 sized body is bound with ebony and inner pinstripe bindings. The rosette has been carefully designed to match, also featuring ebony and pinstripe rings.

The soundboard of the Vera May is made from Lutz Spruce, a naturally occurring hybrid of Sitka Spruce and White Spruce (a close relative of Engelman Spruce). As often occurs with natural hybrids, Lutz has a certain amount of “hybrid vigour”, combining the best elements of both trees. The result is a soundboard with the stiffness of Sitka but with a little less density. This results in a greater balance of subtle overtones which is a delightful combination in a smaller bodied guitar like the Vera May.

The blackwood back, sides and neck are finished in Maton's special tuned satin finish, providing all the warmth and midrange that the Maton 808 series is famous for.

The fingerboard and bridge are made from streaky ebony, a material Maton has come to love for its strength, stability and tone as well as its earthy beauty. The fingerboard features snowflake inlays and a 12th fret Vera May signature block inlay .

The Vera May also comes with an AP5 Pro pickup system and case. The first 100 Guitars will come with a limited edition Ivory Hiscox Travel Case, and label hand signed by Vera May, celebrating her 100th Birthday!

a very good read for a very different type of x-book
Format: Paperback
Love almost everything about this series. Especially Kwannon/Psylocke. She is the star of this book, and even after these 6 issues, a better character than we see of Betsy/Captain Britain in Excalibur after 12 issues.

Nanny vs Mr sinister is
Format: Kindle
A book I wanna read. The fact that he's terrified of the egg lady is hilarious. Also. Spoilers to follow When Orphan Makers armor was cracked what was the gas that came out? Poor Havok can't seem to ever catch a break. He keeps getting put into no win situations that have finally started to break him . Empath, Harpoon(?), and nanny really didn't need to be on the team. Considering Empath was killed almost immediately, nanny was taken out easily and w c was hiding til he got beat by psylock. The art was better than it has been and the story was enjoyable. Plot holes notwithstanding. Overall I give it a solid: B

Artwork excellent
Format: Kindle
I like the overall story but it got stuck in a few places. The overall expectations are promising and plan to follow storylines.
