Epiphone Tak Matsumoto Les Paul DC Electric Guitar w/ Case
Tak Matsumoto is a Grammy Award-winning Japanese guitarist, producer, arranger, composer, singer and songwriter. In addition to guitarist and lead composer for the hard rock band B'z, he has also had a successful solo career.
Tak has proved himself not only one of Japan's masters of the fingerboard, but one of the world's most powerful rockers. In a style that is inflected with jazz sensibilities and coupled to a searing tone that is utterly infectious, Matsumoto has bridged the musical gap between East and West, and proved that rock truly is a universal language.
