Matsumoku Hippie Sandwich

Great Matsumoku made axe, with coil splitter for the humbuckers. Set neck, comfortable neck profile. A great and versatile rock and roll machine, but one can also indulge in their inner jam-band nerd fantasies showing off its alembic-style "hippie sandwich" faux-neck thru maple center block.
