Am I the only one who can't see how all of this goes together??!!
That's certainly some impressive woodworking, and even though I've had some experience with building a kit electric guitar, none of what I'm seeing makes sense!!

Michi matsuda has the greatest creativity I have ever seen in any luthier' s body of work, rivaling that of fred carlson. And he has the woodworking chops to create anything he can imagine!

That is very special indeed. We are lucky to have Michi constantly pushing the boundaries of what's possible with the guitar.

I’m with you on this. I have no clue how these pieces fit into one guitar.

This guitar will be at my house for me to shoot shortly after it’s finished...even when it’s all put together, it won’t make sense to anyone but Michi. Michihiro Matsuda is the single most creative human being I’ve ever met...he’s magic.

Thumbs up
Carved archtop with humbucker pickup and no sound box, with strings going through solid body to wenge vibrating element (“wings”). Makes perfect sense to me.
