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

Classical guitar that represents the pinnacle of high-quality Japanese luthiery, undoubtedly. This concert guitar is entirely crafted in the artisanal workshop in Tokyo and not, as sometimes, by external laboratories to which lower-quality models in Japan were contracted. High-quality woods: Exceptionally high-quality figured rosewood for the back, sides and headstock cover, German spruce for the soundboard, cedar for the neck and headstock, and finally ebony for the fingerboard. The fluted purflings and the rosette, both handcrafted, and the special fretwork (the inlay along the edge of the fingerboard is not visible) complete this instrument, which is an expression of the finest Japanese craftsmanship. The sound confirms the expectations, revealing itself soft, round, and of great intensity. A guitar that has nothing to envy from the most renowned Italian and European classical guitars. The measurements are: 650 - 52 - 3.5. The action height is adjustable according to the guitarist’s preferences, as the height of the bone is more than sufficient. The guitar presents itself in truly excellent condition, especially considering its age, with a sound of the highest quality in every register. There are two spots, well documented photographically, on the soundboard that are absolutely insignificant. Additionally, the back of the headstock shows a small chip. There are no other scratches, cracks, or splits. This instrument, therefore, is aimed at professional guitarists or enthusiasts of Japanese artisanal luthiery. It is shipped insured inside a sturdy cardboard box and well packed in its original hard case.
