As someone more familiar with guitars that have holes in them, I didn’t expect to be so thrilled with my new Matamp GT20, and what it means for my recently refurbished 1977 M80…so expressive, the guitar has a massive voice and a wonderful slippery ebony fingerboard.
For those not familiar with Matamp, think Peter Green ‘Albatross’. Matamp made in Huddersfield, Yorkshire, had a split and the offshoot became Orange amps which are much more famous. Matamp still make amps by hand, immaculate engineering, terrifyingly accurate. M80 shines!
I’ve rewired it, 2 new knobs, bit of fretwork, and presto it’s a magic guitar full of tone!
