The Guitar Gallery Forums - The Guitar Legacy of Matsumoku

Thanks guys, I appreciate all the warm comments. It's been a grand journey, one few are privelged to embark on.

I will need to know who the volunteers are for the "under the hood" work that goes on so I can give you the accesss to the resources you will need to get the job done. Some are already set up, and I guess they can post in the announcements calling for volunteers or new site masters so to speak.

I know those taking over will keep things on the straight and narrow, keep the individual forums on track and in focus. I guess it's someone else's turn to be "heavy handed", but that is what kept the site growing and aimed at keeping Uncle Mat from fading into oblivion.

We have permanently etched the name "Matsumoku" into stone making Matsumoku forever a part of guitar history and granting immortality to the name and the guitars. Michael Wright may have written a few articles, but WE, I reapeat WE are the ones who made it happen. Don't fortget that. At least one goal I (and others) set out to do was make this happen, and take the undeserved credit away from "made by Ibanez" and place it where it was truly deserved.

Now it's up to those who take over to finish the task of documenting the models and carrying the torch. I never thought it would take so long, but then again I never thought Matsumoku was one of the most prolific and accomplished guitar builders of the Japanese Invasion. Im my books one of the world's best. Ever.

Mate, I'm up for whatever you guys decide I'm capable of doing; I just wanna help...

Same here. I'd be proud to contribute.

Me too.

Right now the two main things would be phpBB administration and HTML.

Ever since I purchased your CD on ebay (nobullplop - Oct2001) and subsequently became one of the original members of the website, this has been one sweet diversion. Makes the humdrum of the worker bee a little more palatable.

Thanks, my internet friend, for all you have done. And the very best of luck with your future.

Now I think I'll frame that CD and mount it between the JBL monitors of my oh-so-fabulous home studio

Your friend, Willbo (Bruce)

Thanks for the kind words Willbo. I still want to be a regular joe and consultant so to speak when needed here after all the commotion settles.

Good! I'm relying on your input when I attack the stress cracks on the CS
