A superb instrument created by Masaru Kohno. One chord is all it takes to know that you are playing something special and full of life. The clarity and articulation of this guitar is superb, and you can certainly hear the beauty of the Brazilian Rosewood and Spruce. The notes from the treble strings are lyrical and sweet, complimented by rich round bass. This one includes a pickup system and a neck strap button so it can be played amplified and standing up. Label signed by Masaru Kohno.

Player Reviews:
"Here's a wonderful Kohno Pro-J guitar in top notch woods and customized with a pickup, strap button and 7th fret side marker making this a gigging guitar of the highest quality. If you've never experimented playing classical standing up, you should. It eliminates all the stresses of sitting for long periods and the guitar can be held in the traditional position. Plugging in, even at home, is a thrill and may add some new life to your practice sessions. Ask about our AER amps to go with it." - Paul Heumiller
