Northwest Vintage Guitars brings you a near mint Ryoji Matsuoka M100 Japanese Handmade Classical Guitar (Ramirez 1A Style). Ryoji Matsuoka is regarded as one of Japan's premier Luthiers. A truly beautiful guitar with a naturally finished Cedar top and gorgeous rosette. Deep, sweet sound with warm basses and clear trebles, great sustain and volume. Hand made in Japan in Matsuoka's workshop from high quality materials and modelled after the Jose Ramirez 1A.
The nut is 2.0" and the action is 3.9mm and 2.6mm at the low E and high E respectively. 25.5", 645 mm approx scale. The neck carve on this one is notable. Thin and wide with defined shoulders and a flat center. Very easy to play in the classical style. Some slight handling marks, faint scratches and tiny dings primarily on the back. Overall a top notch guitar with a very cool vibe that plays great, sounds great, and needs nothing.
There is a slight finish seperation on the back center stripe, but it's a laminate so it's not going anywhere. There are scattered scratches and polishing marks. It remains in excellent playable condition.
All our guitars are deep cleaned and receive a professional service and setup. You will not get a filthy guitar from us.
