Hi...I actuallly would like to know all about Ryoji Matsuoka guitars. I found one recently with a solid cedar top and I think laminated indian rosewood back & sides...rosewood fingerboard...very nice rosette...polished frets, etc. It has the Ramariez style headstock. I re-finished the top. It's very easy to play...nice soft touch. Very nice sound but not big enough for a concert hall...maybe. Written in pencil, I think, next to model # is 18. But, aside from this specific instrument...I would like to know about this maker...if you have the time and interest.
Thanks,
M Scott
