This guitar was handmade guitar by Master Luthier Ryoji Matsuoka in 1975, and very rare to see.

This guitar is in excellent condition for its age-appropriate structural and aesthetic condition although it has a few very minor scratches and dents. Some of the black dots on the back/sides are wood grain, not scratches. It's hard to see this state of affairs today for this model's more than 40-year-old flamenco guitar. It's still a very nice guitar to look at and play. Most importantly, its woods are very well preserved without any cracks or repairs, something you usually see on a flamenco guitar. I tried to take many pictures at very close distance with different angles to help you understand its condition.

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.
