Momose MJ-SAKURA MATSUMOTO "Winter / E" Edition
Limited edition - 8 worldwide, including 2 for Europe (reserved for JAPANGUITAR-HANDMADE.COM)
Presentation & concept
This is no ordinary guitar: the MJ-SAKURA MATSUMOTO Edition “Winter / E” is a masterpiece, marrying high-end Japanese craftsmanship with deeply symbolic design.
Only 8 pieces exist worldwide — and JAPANGUITAR-HANDMADE.COM holds 2 European piece.
Forget comparisons — this is a collector’s work made for discerning players.
Inspired by Matsumoto Castle, its bold black silhouette under falling snow, the “Winter” edition captures the contrast in artistic detail.
Every element — hardware, inlays, decoration — is crafted to narrate a story.
