MATON MASTERSOUND MS503
In 1958 Bill May (Maton founder) introduced the MS500 Mastersound series to the world. The Maton Mastersound went on to be played by some of the biggest names in the business including George Harrison. Prized by many for its revolutionary design, superb tone and wonderful playability, the tradition continues with the re-issue of the MS500 series, which has been extended to include the world class MS2000 carve top solid body that Bill would have been immensely proud of.
The great all rounder, the MS 503 produces crisp top end with the single coil twang whilst still delivering the fat humbucker sound modern guitarists crave.
