About This Listing

This guitar was made and signed by the great luthier, Ryoji Matsuoka in 1972.

This guitar has a few of very slight scratches and dents, 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 over 40 years old. This guitar has been very well preserved for over the years.

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.
