If you are looking at this listing you probably already know that Masaru Kohno is regarded as the best Japanese luthier and one of the best of the 20th century. This is an extremely rare early model from Kohno built in 1959! During this period he was still using the English name “Kono” as indicated on the label.

Excellent sustain and great projection, very lightweight guitar!
