This guitar was made and signed by the great luthier, Ryoji Matsuoka in 1981, and rare to see this label today

This guitar only has a few of very slight scratches, and there are a few very light finish clouds in some places. This was very common on high-end Matsuoka models from that era. that I took some photos with very close distances to help you understand more clearly its condition. This guitar is in excellent condition for its age structural, and cosmetic condition although it is 41 years old. This guitar has been very well preserved for over the years.
Notice: gloss finish has a slight discoloration over time

This truly magnificent guitar offers exceptional volume and response combined with very romantic tonality. Its trebles are super sweet, round, yet very crisp. Basses are deep and full of overtones, yet relatively clean. All notes are well balanced, note clarity and separation fantastic, sustain amazing.
