The Guitar Gallery Forums - The Guitar Legacy of Matsumoku

Hi all.. I was wondering if this is in fact one of the acoustic models made by this company. Its a Pro Martin and i believe it was made a replica of the D-45 or D-41 models made by the CF Martin Company. Now i don`t have much information on this and i was hoping someone could maybe shed some light onto this and give me and anyone else who owns one some info and history to this model. Anoth site said it was made by the Matsumoku Company around the late 60`s and early 70`s. Any info would be really grateful. Oh by the way please disregard the appearance i am currently refinishing the Lacquer on it , i have to wait to let it cure for 30 days.I am also replacing the nut and saddle. So the appearance ain`t so good right now.. Thanks Everyone.....

For a brief time Martin subcontracted with a Japanese manufacturer. Upon occasion one will see electrics somewhat resembling an Alembic. The manufacturer is unknown in regards to the electrics, and the acoustics origins are even more obscure.
