This guitar was handmade and signed by Master Luthier Ryoji Matsuoka in 1980.

This guitar has a few of scratches and dents that I tried to take some photos with very close distances and many different angles in order to help you understand clearly its condition. This guitar remains in near excellent condition for its age even although it is 44 years old. 

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.
