What a delightful example of Michi Matsuda’s early work! Cedar and Mahogany are the ingredients for this 2003 M1. You can see a sneak peak into the development of Michihiro’s craft. The fingerboard extension has a bevel and the bridge has been carefully carved exhibiting the DNA of what Matsudas are known for. It’s clear that at guitar number 19,Michi, had it figured out. This instrument has recently had the French polished top refreshed by G.V. Rubio himself, so it is ready for years and years of more play time.

I feel like I don't have to say much at all about this guitar, just listen to the sample. It's got it all to me. Power yet balance, brilliance yet depth and beauty to spare. This is the kind of guitar clients ask me for everyday. Here it is.... Don't hesitate... 
Mahogany and Cedar, when done right, is one of my all-time favorite wood combos. Here you get the right mix of crisp note definition and overtone complexity for a voice that's equally at home in a wide range of settings. Michi more than nailed it with this one. | Scale Length | 25.4 in |
