Michi Matsuda NY Pizza Roll Archtop

In Guitars by jtkung

Another masterpiece from the hands of Michi Matsuda:

“Arch top” guitars have a strong established image in our time, which is fine. But, sometimes it becomes a boundary. Instead of renewing present arch top guitar design, I am making a contemporary electric acoustic guitars with hand curved arched top and back. With all respect of Gibson arch top guitars tradition, and musical history of arch top guitars, I am trying to have distance from them. This is the reason I call this project “Does the California Roll Dream of NY Pizza”

Specs:

  • 15” Bout
  • Sitka Spruce top
  • Figured Maple Back and Sides
  • Tempered Maple Neck, “Neck is bolt on to neck block with two wooden wedges. so, it is very secure and tight joint”. “Also this neck blank is mainly connect to sides, not top and back, to maximize vibration area at top. ”
  • Kent Armstrong Pickups

You expect this kind of modern innovation and design from Michi Matsuda. You can get more details here. It’s for sale!
