Oh my. This is going to be special. You guys in the UK are getting some seriously awesome guitars.

Thrilled to finally see a Matsuda build thread. There is, in my view, no finer artist among luthiers than Michi. This will be a privilege to follow.

Wow, this is really exciting. Michu has always been one of my absolute favourite builders. Everything he does is so unique, and I am in awe of his creative freedom. Looking forward to following this!

Very wonderful to see this thread. Michi is a really humble and down to earth guy. I'm looking forward to following along.

In my opinion, Matsuda makes the finest looking guitars in the world right now.

I agree with the idea of Matsuda been an incredible luthier, best design and innovative ideas, same time I consider that his guitars are sounding even better. 100% hand made work with magic sound.

Those rosettes are incredible.

I spent a little time talking to Mr. Matsuda at Woodstock in 2014, when he brought his ELECTRIC guitar! Really cool and down to earth. Played one at Dream Guitars in 2013, and easily one of the best sounding guitars Paul had there...

Some more build photos.
