Founded in 1954. Mr. Ryoji Matsuoka began making guitars on his own. He was a luthier who once swept the industry, including OEM production at other companies' handcraft workshops. The most common model is this "M" number Ramirez model. Mr. Ryoji Matsuoka passed away in 2012. His son, Mr. Toshiaki, became the president, and the label also changed from "RYOJI MATSUOKA" to "T. MATSUOKA". Unfortunately, Matsuoka Gakki went bankrupt two years later. Even the M20 had a solid top, which was an impossibly high cost, and it is said that the management went bankrupt. You can feel the deceased's dedication to each guitar, and the thoughts and beliefs of the maker. Matsuoka guitars are that kind of guitar.
