|| Quoting from Gibson official site:


As leader of the Japanese rock band, Bz, Tak Matsumoto has taken his trademark Gibson Les Paul to the top of the charts with album sales of nearly 60,000,000. Sold-out stadium tours and media clamor surrounding Tak Matsumoto caught the attention of Gibson who quickly made him their first Asian signature artist.


"There is a lot of great music coming out of Japan right now and Tak is the number one guitar player in Asia and in Japan, no doubt," said Gibson CEO Henry Juszkiewicz.


"Hes a loyal Gibson player, a major influence on young guitarists and a superstar. We couldnt be more proud to work with Tak to produce a Signature Les Paul."

|| Quoting from Steve Vai about his collaboration with B'z:


"I was astonished ! Because their music came out so good and so powerful to my ear. Even when B'z tends to lean more to the pop-side, Tak's way of guitar playing is most exciting. We don't have this in America."
