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!

Great way to introduce children to drag queens and gender transition
Format: Paperback
This is a nice story about a little girl (in 5th grade) who lives with her mom and uncle who is a drag queen. Over the course of the story, she realizes that the reason she doesn’t like make-up, jewelry, dresses, and nail polish is NOT because she has watched a grown man wear those things her entire life. And it isn’t because some girls just don’t like those things. It is because she is really a boy. She transitions to a boy and is finally happy. This is a great story to introduce children to drag queens and the idea that if they aren’t stereotypical girls or boys, they might be born in the wrong body. Happiness can be found living a life pretending to be the sex that you are not.

Amazing!
Format: Kindle
My diverse literature professor required we read this book for a literature circle assignment. I absolutely adore this book! It was a window inside the life of a transgender child. Juvenile content for young readers but a serious and important overall theme. I highly recommend.

Excellent book for late Elementary and Middle School youth
Format: Paperback
Words can’t express the gratitude I have for you writing this book and the lives it will and has positively impact. Such a wonderful book about a path of self discovery. An excellent read for tweens and the friends and family that support them. This book can open up great conversations. I just purchased the next book and will be purchasing copies for supportive family members. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

Transgender Story
Format: Kindle
A middle school age girl questions herself and her place on Earth. I had trouble believing the story based on the fact the character is middle school age and mentions all the things he can’t do yet but the point of view is first person and definitely looks at herself/himself like an adult would. The narrator clearly isn’t the protagonist but an adult. Big flaw.
