Beautiful tone and craftsmanship! Tone is a piercing full tone. A wonderfully made instrument.

This classical was hand made by Masaru Matano in 1976 who is considered one of the greatest Japanese luthiers of all time!

Masaru was heavily influenced by the Ramirez type classicals!

Not many of these have made it to the US markets and thus why it's hard to find many of them out there that are available and in good shape.

Dings on the back of the neck, a good amount of wear and scratches on the back of the body. The wear on the back is difficult to see in the photos, but I did my best to give you an idea.
