Nice real nice! I’ve only seen one Matsuoka in my life. That’s rare I’m sure.

Best live concert I ever experienced, Pink Floyd, Division Bell tour, Edmonton Alberta 1994, I was 19 years old.
Wish I'd have gotten to see them before that, but at that time, they had the best stage show and sound reinforcement in the business!

Since I can't play loud where I'm at, I mostly just play thru my pod x3 live into headphones.
Guitar on the left is my Schecter Gryphon, the one on the right is a Johnson catalyst. It's a cheap guitar with a good body and neck, and the only one I could find with a 20" radius fretboard. I removed all the hardware, down to the neck and body. I put a Gotoh trem, with the locking posts, and a big brass block, brass spring claw, and brass trem lock on it..
.
On the trem, I replaced the string locking blocks with titanium ones, and the string locking screws with stainless steel ones.
I also replaced the nut with a Gotoh locking one, I also changed out the locking screws with stainless ones, on the nut. I also changed out every screw like the pickup ones for stainless steel. I can't stand rusty screws. Lol
I swapped out pickups with a Seymour Duncan custom custom in the bridge, and a jazz at the neck. I put Seymour Duncan yjm high speed volume and tone pots on it. Switch craft 3 way pickup switch, and input jack were also put on it. I had to route the trem cavity, and fill the old post holes, and drill new ones to fit the Gotoh. It was a pain in the ass! Lol
All in all, the guitar I made for myself, is my everyday player. It's kinda like smoking bud that you grew yourself, I get more appreciation from it knowing I created it.
I also have an Ibanez s series.
Edit: thanks to @mudballs for pointing out I said smoking bugs instead of buds. Just to be clear, I do not.... lol.

It's good to know there's other gearheads in this world other than on the guitar forums. It's hard to find any in person though. Lol

I get accused aall the time about working for Roger Mayer, shilling his pedals, because they are the main ones I recommend. Just like Ive been accused here of working for Solacure. I only recommend what Ive used.

I got lucky on that one. A buddy's Aunt moved into a retirement home a couple of years ago and he gifted me the Matsuoka. Definitely a much lower line series than the good ones out there, but it sounds amazing and it is much louder than you'd expect.

They are just vibrating at the tone selected by changing where the finger is held on them on the fretboard. They are vibrating at a different frequency, just not modulated.

Sick collection!! I’ve been wanting a Dual Showman Reverb, just sold a 1981 Deluxe as it didn’t have enough ass.
Here’s my 1977 Boogie Mark I with jbl d120, I have the matching cab with e120 also. And 83’ strat with replacement neck, the weird two-knobber
And the pedalboard with relocated black box, that’s a Roger Mayer voodoo vibe tc on the right
