The Guitar Gallery Forums - The Guitar Legacy of Matsumoku

Hi guys

This is my first post on here so hi

Just wondered if anyone had any info on these guitars? I bought one about 7 or 8 years ago and was thinking of selling it but have no info about it and am finding it hars to find any and saw on one place about this site, just wondered if anyone had any info and how much they are worth, il stick some pictures up if it will help, its in good condition and as far as im aware its all original, just needs a new knob and new nut around the pickup switch,

Cheers in advance guys
Steve

Hello steve. Pictures are always helpful and appreciated here.
Meantime here's a link to some catalogue information: http://www.matsumoku.org/models/vantage/catalogs/atak-manhattan/catalog_th.html

heres some pics, thanks for the quick reply, yea its on that site, any more info would be grately appriciated

few more pics

The serial number should put it as a May 1984 build. We don't have a lot of info on the Atak line generally, but some of the members do have 'em.
Try doing a search of the forums here.

excelent, thankyou.

as i say im looking at putting it up for sale so will prob go on ebay or something, any ideas as to what it would be worth?

thanks again

It depends partly on where you are & where you'd be willing to ship & whether it has a case & whether things are working & whether I could test it & how much wear and tear it has & how well you photograph it & what your feedback history is on E-Bay.

In some ways, the more effort you put in with pics & description & packing & shipping, the more you stand to recoup with the sale.

If you were in my town and I could see it and pick it up locally, I'd be curious up 'til about $100 with the pics & description you've shown (and that's mostly 'cause I like the Dean Bel Aire-style body shape). Not too many of these show up for sale (that I've seen), so there's not much history to go by for value. Other folks might want it more than I do, of course.

o right ok cheers.

well im based in the uk, but i think i will put this up for international shipping as i want it to go for the best price and to a good home where someone will look after it and enjoy it. it does have a small amount of wear and tear and no case with it so will be heavily wrapped for shipping, my feedback on ebay is 100% with 123 transactions. once i find what i did with my amp and leads il check that it is all still working as i havent played it for about 5 years but was all working then so cant see why it wouldnt be. could still do with a bit more info to put up with it if anyone has it? dont really know what matsumoku is lol.

i will be posting links up when it does go on sale for anyone on here thats interested in it

thanks again though guys
