Former Somogyi apprentice Michihiro Matsuda was born and raised in Japan, before moving to the US to study at the Roberto-Venn School of Lutherie in Phoenix, Arizona, then with Ervin Somogyi in San Francisco.
After his apprenticeship, Michi then studied guitar repair with renowned instrument repairman Frank Ford of Gryphon Stringed Instruments where he is now part of the repair staff.
Michi builds a small run of guitars each year in his own workshop in Oakland, California, and we are delighted to represent Matsuda Guitars in the UK.
