There's lots of guitars that are marked "None as of yet" but they're covered in the catalogue scans so the pages could potentially be updated.
Is this on the current schedule?

To answer your question, yes, the site is slowly being updated, and the arrangement will change.

All 70+ catalogs have been laid out and the page format is being done a little at a time. Once this is done the sorting and updating of models can get started. All this is taking back seat to charity work that I am doing and when health permits.

The plan is to have links on each model's page to each catalog that represents that model along with at least one shot of the model be it catalog crop or actual photo along with specifications and any specific info available for that model.

If anyone is inclined to help and is familiar with graphics programs there is a good bit of image work to be done. Anyone interested can contact me via PM or via e-mail at guitargalleryforumsa@matsumoku.org .

If anyone is is willing to go through the models one by one and make note of the catalog page(s) the model appears on either by specification or picture, preferrably referencing the url to the catalog page(s), this would be helpful also. Those willing can e-mail the above address with subject "model XXX info" (XXX being the model) and the following in the body of the message:

label: (Aria Pro II, Vantage, etc.)
Model: (RS-X70, FV575, etc.)
Model Page (if it exists yet): http://www.matsumoku.org/models/aria/solid/lp/55xx.html
Catalog Page(s): http://www.matsumoku.org/models/aria/catalogs/75_aria/75_aria_catalog_pg1.jpg.html

These are just exampels, and of course if it appears in several catalogs there would be more than one link to a catalog page. Spec changes from year to year or disrepancies would also be helpful. This would save a good bit of time as it can be time consuming for just one person.

Anyone helping in either of these areas would definitely be credited on the contributor's page.
