Sakurai Kohno - Special - - Classical guitar - Japan - 2004

A classical guitar that unquestionably represents the pinnacle of high-quality Japanese luthiery.
This concert guitar was built entirely in the Tokyo workshop, rather than in the external workshops where lower-quality models in Japan were commissioned.

Top-quality tonewoods:
Exceptional-quality, beautifully figured rosewood for the back, sides, and headplate; German spruce for the soundboard; Spanish cedar for the neck and headstock; and ebony for the fingerboard.
The handcrafted decorative purfling and rosette, together with the distinctive fretwork (the fret ends are not visible along the edge of the fingerboard), complete this instrument, an expression of the finest Japanese craftsmanship.

The sound lives up to expectations, proving to be warm, rounded, and highly powerful. This guitar has nothing to envy in the most renowned Italian and European classical guitars.

The measurements are: 650 - 52 - 3.5. The action height can be adjusted to suit the guitarist's preference, as the saddle is more than high enough.

The guitar is in truly excellent condition, especially considering its age, and produces a very high-quality sound across the entire register.
There are two spots on the soundboard, clearly documented in the photos, which are entirely insignificant. In addition, there is a small chip on the back of the headstock. There are no other scratches, open joints, or cracks.
This instrument is therefore suited to professional guitarists or enthusiasts of Japanese handcrafted luthiery. It will be shipped insured in its original hard case, inside a thick cardboard box and carefully packaged.
