Ryoji Matsuoka was known as one of the great Japanese guitar-makers and entrepreneurs of the twentieth century. He brilliantly modified techniques and designs by Ramirez, Hauser, Kohno, and others to produce wonderful guitars under his own name as well as doing occasional work with Aria and other companies. From 1975 to 1980 the company produced their own lines of guitars: the Concert, Artist, and Artisan series.  This is one of his earlier personal production guitars made by his company in marketed under his name. 

Model 25 features Indian Rosewood laminate back and sides, and a tight grain select Solid Cedar top.  We had a few top cracks glued up on this one and it's solid and ready to go.  The neck is straight and flat with an ever so slight relief.  Action is set at a more traditional 4.5 mm on the low E, 3.25 mm on the high E. Comes with the original case in the photos.
