Another stellar guitar from Masaru Kohno. This instrument was completed not long after Masaru's Gold Medal win at the International Guitar Building Competition in Belgium in 1967. The Rosewood back and sides and Spruce top--along with Masaru's impeccable craftsmanship--make for a guitar with loud, robust tones and perfect playability. As if that wasn't enough, this instrument is in excellent condition for being over 40 years old and only shows light play wear. Tonally, this guitar offers amazing tone at an easy price point.

Player Reviews:
"Anyone seeking a high quality concert guitar that won't break the bank should jump on this Kohno No. 5 model. The voice is superb thanks to the well matured Spruce top. It was upgraded with quality tuners and the overall condition is great for it's age. Perfect setup and easy playability." - Paul Heumiller
