: Hi, I'm here inquiring to know if anyone know's about these Matsuoka classical guitar models. Can anyone tell alittle bit about them, some sort of review. I'm interested in purchasing a classical guitar and stumbled upon Matsuoka. I heard they were great, but not sure what to think. If anyone know's of this model or any other great model, please feel free to write back. Thanks a bunch!

My brother, who plays classical guitar, bought me a Ryoji Matsuoka Classical Guitar (Barcelona Series M80). We selected it from a classical guitar store in San Francisco around 1978-1980. At the time, they were listing around $1K and every bit as good as the $3K Spanish made guitar he bought at another store. I have had it ever since and it has been nothing but wonderful with high praise from other guitarists who know guitars. Here is a site that had some info in case you find it helpful. Best of luck. http://www.cspcorp.com/cosmicblues/RyojiMatsuoka.htm
