Here we have a Masaru Kohno classical in Spruce and East Indian Rosewood. This is all Spanish tone territory here with a nice airiness to the bass and an expressiveness about the trebles. This classic pairing of tone woods in Kohno’s hands makes for a quality of sound that will have you wanting to play more and more. This guitar is incredibly well maintained, especially for its age, and has a comfortable, played in feel. It’s hard to find a better feeling and playing classical than this!

A good Kohno is worth its weight and then some - ask anyone who's played an old Kohno and they'll affirm that the tone, projection, and build quality are all there. I would love to see this one in the hands of a pro player or a student looking to make the jump to a high caliber guitar. Come by and check it out!
