Here is a a rare and historic early Kono No. 3 Model guitar crafted in 1964. At this point Masaru Kohno did not use the ‘h’ in Kohno. This vintage Kono guitar features Rosewood and Spruce for that crisp, robust tone that professionals have come to expect from Masaru’s instruments. The super playable, smooth action on the Rosewood fretboard and 51mm nut makes this early Kohno extremely playable. A testament to the quality of Kohno guitars is how well this one has stood the test of time. Nearly 50 years old and still plays perfectly with plenty of remaining saddle. This is a wonderful collectible Kono from the first years of Master Masaru Kohno’s illustrious career.

What a treat to have this early vintage Kono guitar for you. It still plays like a new guitar but the tone is very mature and lovely. Masaru Kohno was truly one of great Luthiers of the 20th Century and this historic piece is both a great guitar and a piece of guitar history. We are very proud to offer it here at Dream Guitars.
