SOLD - 2007 Kohno Guitars Maestro - Concert Classical Guitar

The Maestro is quite simply the top of the line from Kohno Guitars and master luthier Masaki Sakurai. For the Maestro every piece of wood from the braces to the top are the absolutely best, set aside especially for the Maestro model. When even the braces are perfectly quarter sawn and the top has perfect grain you wind up with a very special instrument. This one sounds spectacular, strong and lively, as Kohnos are known to be, but also very rich and superbly balanced with great projection. The playability is of the highest caliber as well. The Maestro appointments are sophisticated and elegant from the special Maestro Headstock scroll to the inlaid bridge and Gotoh tuners, this is first-class in every detail. The construction is impeccable and the voice inspiring. We are very excited to have for you this very rare and special Kohno Maestro.

Dream Guitars Player's Review:
"This is a stunning guitar and the impact continues when you begin to play. The bass is forceful and musical and the treble strings project their beautiful tone across the room. The G string is very lyrical and the playability is outstanding. Crafted from Brazilian Rosewood and Spruce, the voice is world-class and the Maestro appointments make this a special instrument to behold. But the Maestro designation really means that the very finest materials and craftsmanship were used to build this fine guitar, so it truly represents the best Kohno has to offer and we can attest to that." - Paul Heumiller

"This is a powerful instrument with perfect balance." - Al Petteway

Another Satisfied Dream Guitars Customer:
"This mail order bride is even prettier in person — whoa! I felt like I had a pretty good grasp on what to anticipate when I ordered it thanks to Joe's descriptive overview and Paul's articulate manner of fielding my questions. Still, the abstract nature of what we all seek from a guitar left me...well, anxious. From the very first note, this guitar was everything you said it might be — and then some." - Larry M.
