Click on any photo below to enlarge
We are thrilled to have this virtually unplayed Matsuda guitar. It is Michi's M1 design with all his artful touches including his carved cutaway bindings, carved bridge, custom top and back purflings, custom headplate, bound and bordered fingerboard, intricate marquetry rosette and more. The most impressive feature of all is the top notch Brazilian Rosewood that is tight-grained and beautifully colored. The kind of wood we rarely see these days. It is paired with a Master Grade European Spruce top for a big, bold sound and Somogyiesque voice. Each string is amazing and together they are magical. Don't miss this rare opportunity for an unplayed Matsuda guitar.

Player Reviews:
"This is one of those guitars I will surely regret selling, but like any business we have to pay the bills. This one has all of the details that I love in a Matsuda from the carved cutaway and bridge to the inlaid top purfling, it's striking from every angle. Flip it over and you'll notice the clever partial purflings that really stand out against the premium Brazilian Rosewood. The voice is huge and beautiful, you can hear the lineage to Ervin Somogyi, but also you sense Michi's tone, articulate, fat and sumptuous. We rarely see a preowned Matsuda and Michi is one of the most sought after modern luthiers, so don't hesitate on this amazing guitar." - Paul Heumiller
