We are very excited to have happened upon this rare preowned Matsuda M1. As an added bonus this one was selected for use on Tony McManus’ latest solo CD. We are a dealer for Michi but get only 1 guitar every 18 months or so. Michi’s artistic sense and amazing tone, which is descendant of Ervin Somogyi, make his guitars highly sought after. This powerhouse is crafted from Cambodian Rosewood and Italian spruce and features massive projection and extraordinary clarity. It also has nice artistic touches such as the 3 piece headplate, marquetry style rosette, fingerboard purfling and sculpted bridge
It's wonderful to see the lineage in the world of luthier. It's still a craft where masters nurture apprentices who someday become the new masters. Michi Matsuda is very proud that he had the opportunity to learn from Ervin Somogyi and is clearly express his own ideas in his instruments today. We are witnessing something special in the guitar world. Thank Ervin and Michi for the amazing guitars. 
This is a beautiful instrument. The design is very much like a Somogyi, but different enough to make it uniquely Matsuda. It has a well-balanced tone that is strong in the midrange with plenty of high end sparkle as well. | Scale Length | 25.4 in |
