Player-Tested Integrity Report
This is an authentic, soulful performer. Vetting: As a professional musician and certified electrician, I have personally verified the sound projection and structural health. Health: The neck is straight with no twists. Honest Disclosure: This is a vintage instrument; it features honest dings and aesthetic scuffs consistent with its history. Please refer to high-resolution photos for detail. Ready to play immediately after tuning.

Own a piece of history from the world-renowned workshop of Masaru Kohno. Handcrafted during the height of Japanese classical guitar making, the No.5 represents the meticulous craftsmanship that won Kohno the top prize at the Liège competition. His guitars are famous for their powerful projection and piano-like clarity that has matured beautifully over decades.

✨ Legendary Resonance: Sourced from the Japanese market, where Kohno's instruments are revered as cultural treasures. The matured tonewoods provide a depth and articulate response that modern factory guitars simply cannot replicate.

Natural Character:
The action is set at a comfortable 3.75mm, offering a great balance between projection and ease of play. The structural integrity is excellent, with a straight neck and healthy frets. It is a stable, reliable instrument for both serious students and professional collectors.

Expert Readiness:
Ships from Tokyo, Japan with elite-grade protection. Every instrument is wrapped in heavy-duty materials and secured for safe international transit. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a genuine Kohno at a competitive entry point into the world of master-built Japanese guitars.

I'm a lifelong musician and certified electrician based in Japan. I personally verify the structural and playability integrity of every heritage instrument I sell. Having lived in the U.S., Singapore, and Thailand, I understand the global demand for "Masaru Kohno" precision. I only sell gear that I would personally trust in a recording session.
