Although this is not a Matsumoku product (being made early in '90) it still is a Made in Japan instrument, with all the quality it deserves.
This line (and all high level models) were made in Japan by the AriaProII US brand. At that time, medium to lower models were produced in Korea .Â
A great modern design, woods combination, electronic circuit, natural finish, mechanics......
All provide for an outstanding instrument.
Both pickups can be split to obtain strato-like tonalities; Humbucker sounds are great when full coil combination is set.
