Japanese guitar made in the plant Matsumoku (custom shop).
Mine is the MODEL RS-850 Original Custom Body, 1981.

The handle is 24 boxes, driver, key bne. There are two simple active pickups (which is super rare), plus a troisime the center, which serves to capture a signal in phase inversion to eliminate parasites in the microphones.

Lutherie of the highest order. The technique of 5-ply neck-RALIS perfectly (which is hard to TRS), the woods are excellent, and uitare exudes good quality workmanship. See anything withthe Japanese instruments of this era. Manufacturing Start a trs ahead US (quality of wood, electronics, finishing, ...), for a similar price the era.

UTILIZATION

There are two 3 position switches that boost the tonality of each of the microphones.

Absolute ease of playing. Access in acute is not good, it carrment perfection.
Easy to play: you make a note, it s'arrte more. Endless sustain.

In addition, it is even better "Moulle" coprs in a stratum, and super lgre. Held in absolute comfort.

SOUNDS

I can understand the view Previous on certain points. It has a sound type so that it is far short of all the outs and all styles of music.

Sound clear: Crystaline, and hyper-rich: trs near the sound of a guitar electro-acoustic in some cases. The sound of the scale, deep bass and solids, and acute mdiums Submitted pure. Super hot (which is rare on a system active. Its super rich but typ.

Distorted sounds: did for the Metal as simple microphones, and more so as the level of the guitar is super sound lev was too saturated limit between the ds. Rultat, there's a soft and a bit messy. Nothing pchu what. So even the hyper typ. on the other hand, it IDAL for alternative rock, grunge or the noisy Sonic Youth.
Nickel also for solos (especially with the sustain and Access in acute). Crunch trs hot and vintage, superb.

I put 8 because in absolute terms, the sound is trs good, but do not agree all. So much personality that he is not versatile.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had a little more than a decade. The neck has never needed to be rgl despite the person who had before and that n'tait not careful. This guitar has collected many blows without flinching. Frabrication trs robust and treats.

In the beginners of the 80, it Coutat Fr 5000, as a strat USD. Today, it sells for 200 euros. So it's an incredible deal, if his personality does not drang. The best thing to have in plsu another guitar more versatile.

But in any case a good instrument trs, well ahead of many instruments amricains.
