Epiphone announces the Tak Matsumoto DC Standard Goldtop exclusively for the Japan Market. From Tak's blistering solo work, his long-standing association with the band B'z, and his GRAMMY winning albums with renowned artists like Larry Carlton, Tak Matsumoto has proved himself not only one of Japan's masters of the fingerboard, but one of the world's most powerful rockers. With a style that’s inflected with jazz sensibilities and a searing tone that is utterly infectious, Matsumoto has bridged the musical gap between East and West and proved that rock is truly a universal language. Now, Epiphone makes Matsumoto’s signature tone available to a wider audience. The Epiphone Limited Edition Tak Matsumoto DC Standard Goldtop embodies Tak's own asymmetrical take on the popular DC Standard Les Paul style with all the power and speed that this great musician demands.
