I'm glad that I discovered your channel a few years ago but am surprised how someone as talented as you doesn't have more followers.

[@JackIsidore]

Thank you very much,, Shreya! But more than 5000 subscribers is not bad after all. I never thought I would get so far when I started this channel ...

Thanks for another beautiful video Jack! Could you tell us a bit about this Ryoji Matsuoka guitar? How does it compare with your Juan Hernandez Concierto?

[@JackIsidore]

Hi William, thanks for the request. The Hernandez is clearly of higher grade. It is very loud and 'fat' sounding. But I like the Matsuoka very much, it is so easy to play and I like the 'lighter' and somewhat more 'airy' sound of it. Just have to figure out which one is better for what kind of music.

@@JackIsidore That is interesting Jack, I would say similar things comparing my 2019 Ramirez Estudio III with my 1970 Aria 550. The old Japanese guitars are remarkably good.
