Even Michi Matsuda’s prototypes are incredible! We recently stumbled upon just such a gem with this 2008 Nylon String Prototype in Ziricote and Italian Spruce. A flattened Florentine cutaway swoops away from the fretboard, and many of the appointments are Wenge. The neck has a shallow C profile (an excellent play feel for crossover players), and the overall weight is only 4lbs 4oz.

What sets this guitar apart from the crowd (aside from its rich and vigorous tone) is Matsuda’s adjustable neck. Wedged in place with Wenge, the neck angle can be adjusted in both directions simply by driving the wedge further down, or backing it off away from the body. Every detail is executed with typical Matsuda prowess; perfection is never far off where this luthier is concerned.

We’re quite impressed by the tone. Dynamic response and an expansive bass response characterize the voice, and the clarity of each plucked note is something you need to experience firsthand to really grasp. A wealth of overtones flesh out the trebles, and the sustain is prolonged. One of the coolest nylon string guitars we’ve seen in some time, but what else would we expect from Michi Matsuda? It’s a winner in our books.

This Matsuda comes in a lightweight Super Light softshell case, and we have some excellent case upgrades as well; just ask!
