The Guitar Gallery Forums - The Guitar Legacy of Matsumoku

Jacques is a builder of stompboxes, located in Marseille/France. His products are used by many famous French and international players like Steve Morse or Jerry Donahue.
Looking at his homepage I found out that besides his career as builder, shop owner and musician, Jacques is collecting Matsumoku guitars.
Really nice collection!

Nice collection but there is no indication that Matt made any Ibby's. Also, my understanding was that Morris were made mostly by Yamaki who may also have made the Washburn.

Odds are the rosewood falcon/eagle is a Yamaki product. Though I believe matsumoku made them as well.

Yeah Nevin, I was surprised to see the Ibby's included too. These are Hoshino, no?
Willbo, it's also my understanding that Mats made some of these. (No proof though)
