Description

Royji Matsuoka No.60 Classical Guitar, full solid Brazilian Rosewood (made in Japan, 1975). I cannot quite explain it, but the moment I laid eyes on it I was already lost. Lost deep in its beauty, down to the smallest detail. Lost in the melancholy sound of a Matsuoka cradled in your arms. Perhaps these guitars are the opium that has hypnotized so many an artist's soul... During the golden age of classical guitar, this model was the center of attention among countless other prized instruments. It offers a sweet voice with crisp, clear trebles and a bass rich in overtones, all carried out into the room in the most poetic of tones. Many even argue that its sound surpasses that of hand-built Spanish guitars priced at 5,000 USD. If the No.80 is likened to the brand's prince, then the No.60 is its princess, a noble and formidable pair that rivals so many other renowned names. A thought we always wish to leave you with: to own a vintage guitar is to own a piece of priceless history.
