1973 Ryoji Matsuoka No. 25 Classical Guitar, Very Good Condition with case

Description

A beautiful guitar signed by the master luthier in 1973 before the M series models were made.
This guitar is part of the concert series. This No.25 is a much higher grade than those made in later years and even some of higher numbered grades made later in the '80s and '90s.
For example, note the double ebony strips neck reinforcements.  I've only seen this on the No.50 made in the 1970s and I have not seen it on another No. 25 guitar.  The model 50 in the early 1970s was a professional concert series guitar selling for twice the amount as the No.25.  Also, the center trim jointing the two back panels is not what is normally seen on Matsuoka guitars.  The color of the top sound board is more red normally seen on Matsuoka classicals. And,  finally,  the Spanish language label is a hint of importance to me.  My theory is that these combined features strongly indicates this guitar  was made for Spain to compete directly with the best in Spain.  It imitates the Ramirez style and my understanding is that serious Spanish guitarist would not buy a guitar without the ebony neck support.  Ramirez made guitars without the ebony strips for export only, mostly to the USA.  That is why you see vintage Ramirez guitars on the market that were purchased in Spain with the ebony while those purchased new in the USA are without it.
This guitar offers a wonderful tone: tight basses and clear super sweet trebles.
It has various signs of wear such as marks left on the back of the neck made by by capos or guitar stands and cosmetic scratches; all indicating that this guitar was played and most likely because it sounded great.  No structural damage and looking at it is beautiful to behold.
The action is low for a classical guitar,  around 3.5 and 3.1 respectively.  So it's perfect, in my opinion, to play classical and folk or pop music on it.  If you want to raise the action to 4.5 or 5mm where most professional classical players love it, you would need to buy a new saddle or put a shim under this one.  Comes with modern made in Japan tuners as the originals were, creaky, oxidated nickel plated tuners with cracked rollers.
Specification:
Top: Solid Spruce
Back & Sides: Indian Rosewood “double-plates” with quality woods.
Hard to say if they are solids woods or not, but the general consensus is that the Japanese reserved all solid woods guitars for the most expensive top end models.  That's not to say the reason for using double-plates was to cut costs.  The primary reason was that the process made the guitar stronger and Ramirez was doing the same with guitars costing thousands of dollars more.  Even today, you can check out some youtube luthier videos making double plated guitars and offering them in excess of US ,000.  So ignore the double plating, its a non-issue with these Japanese luthier made guitars that were made in the golden age of Japanese guitar making.
