New Tak Matsumoto Signature Models!!
Apparently, new Tak Matsumoto Signature Models are going to be available over at Gibson's Custom division in autumn this year.
I've already taken a look around, and those new models seem to cost around 500,000 Yen(~$4545/~€3333). If anybody can afford one, don't hesitate to take live pictures of it, or even send a sample of playing the guitar!
