Maton Master Built The L.E May Spruce/Blackwood Deep-body Cutaway Guitar w/Electronics #0154

This Maton Master Built L.E. May is the kind of guitar that immediately feels serious in the hands. The European spruce top delivers clarity and headroom, while the figured Australian blackwood back and sides add warmth and a focused low end that stays balanced across the neck. The deep body with a cutaway gives it extra air and power without sacrificing comfort or upper fret access.

The neck is carved from figured Queensland maple and feels fast and familiar, paired with an ebony fingerboard that stays articulate even under a heavy right hand. Maton’s scalloped X bracing keeps the top responsive, and the attention to detail shows up everywhere, from the Firmiana timber rosette to the elegant timber binding. This is a guitar that feels refined but still built to be played hard.

Plugged in, the AP5 Pro system does exactly what Maton is known for. It translates the natural acoustic voice clearly and reliably on stage without fuss. Whether it is used for fingerstyle, flatpicking, or live performance, this L.E. May delivers a confident, professional sound and comes protected in a Hiscox-built Maton hardshell case.
