Ryoji Matsuoka M30 Handmade classical Guitar (1978)

This guitar was completed on Wednesday 16/08/1978 in Nagoya, Japan.

This Matsuoka M30 from the 70s belong to the concert series.  It then became the M50 and M60 in the 90s and it's equivalent or higher to the current M80 or M100.

Compared to other M30 of later years this guitar is of a much higher grade. Please check out my other M30 guitars.

This guitar even higher grade than the 1990's Takamine No5 and No.6 in terms of sound, projection and tone. 

I have enhanced the bracing to bring out its full potential and tuned the solid spruce top to the note of G#.

It is now even more resonant, loud and rich in overtones.

The guitar has a few superficial marks on the top but has been refinished and are under a clear coat.  Please refer to the photos.
