Gibson Custom Shop 2010 TAK Matsumoto DC Standard Gold Top Gloss

This is the “DC Standard Gold Top Gloss,” a signature model by Tak Matsumoto from B’z.

Of all the variations of Matsumoto's models, this is a particularly rare piece with a limited production run of only 80 pieces. It comes with a special Anvil case bearing his name and a COA featuring his handwritten signature, making it a highly valuable collector’s item.

While it shows signs of use due to its age, as detailed below, there is no significant damage that substantially that detracts from its overall appearance.

- Some scratches and minor pockmarks on the body top
- Top coat chipping and rough paint texture near the elbow
- Multiple weather checks on the binding near the body end due to aging
- Some buckle marks and dents on the back
- Several impact marks and dents on the neck grip
- Partial paint peeling and dents on the tip of the headstock

The neck and truss rod are in good condition, offering good playability.
