Japanese luthier Ryoji Matsuoka offered good quality classical guitars during the 1970s. Guitars were offered as part of the M Series with models starting at M-20 and ranging by ten digit increments up to the M-100. The higher the number of the guitar, the higher quality materials were used. In 1976, prices ranged between $270 and $1,050. Recently Tornavoz Music began importing another line of Matsuoka guitars including the 706 (MSR $1,399) and the 710 (MSR $2,199).
