Celebrated for its groundbreaking design and exceptional playability, the MS500 series maintains its heritage with this reissue. Featuring a timeless shape and classic vintage tone, the MS500 is an extremely adaptable guitar suited for nearly any style or player. Whether delivering warm vintage sounds or the pronounced attack needed on the loudest rock stages, this guitar performs with clarity and power. Its build begins with a Silver Silkwood body paired with a bolt-on Queensland Maple neck, complemented by a rosewood fingerboard with dot inlays, 25.5-inch scale length, and 22 frets. Electronics include a Maton MVHB humbucker with coil-tap on the bridge, and a Maton MVSC single coil on the neck, managed through single volume and tone controls, a coil tap switch, and a vintage-inspired three-way chrome rotary selector switch offering Cool, Mid-Way, and Hi-Fi tonal options. The chrome stop tailpiece and bridge secure the strings to a body finished in Maton's signature gloss. The MS500 is a robust, meticulously crafted instrument designed for lasting performance.
