Masaru Kono Kohno 815 1959 Rare Japan

For sale is a Masaru Kono Kohno 815 1959 Rare Japan in Good Condition!

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. It’s an extremely well-built guitar using beautiful woods and it’s in phenomenal condition for a guitar that is more than 60 years old! The neck is straight and the guitar plays and sounds absolutely beautiful as you would expect from a guitar built by a master and aged for 60 years. Excellent sustain and great projection, very lightweight guitar!

Cracks have been professionally repaired and are completely stable.
