Michihiro Matsuda never ceases to amaze in his innovative guitar designs. This acoustic is no exception. Note the unique split headstock with different tuning pegs for the bass strings, the multi-scale, the creative and curvy bridge, and his trademark rosette designs which extend beyond the sound hole into the outer body areas. Every part of the design is in perfect alignment with each other. His designs represent a Japanese design aesthetic which strives for perfection while maintaining a natural balance of the individual elements.
