Sakurai-Kohno "Professional-J"

Description

Designed by Japan's most recognized luthier, Masaru Kohno, this instrument is a first-rate concert guitar, and is now made by Kohno's nephew Masaki Sakurai. These instruments are currently being played by Oscar Ghiglia, Eduardo Fernandez and Shinichi Fukuda this concert season, and a string of top-players have played them in the past, including Sharon Isbin and Julian Bream, among others. The rosewood sides and back on this instrument are stunning and the German spruce top is perfectly quartersawn with plenty of silk. Playability is excellent. Tone is lovely with very, very good volume. We would recommend this guitar to anyone including a performing musician or recording artist.

Note: Although a used guitar, it is in excellent condition with barely any signs of prior use. However, although this is the actual guitar in the photographs, the tuners have been upgraded to Alessi's.

A hardshell case is included with this guitar.
