{"product_id":"1991-masaru-kohno-professional-j-japan-french-polished-natural-ohsc","title":"1991 Masaru Kohno Professional J (Japan, French Polished Natural, OHSC)","description":"Handbuilt Japanese classical from Masaru Kohno’s Professional line. Light, responsive, and very even across the strings, with a quick attack and clear separation that suits both traditional repertoire and more modern playing. The build is tidy and restrained, with a French polished finish and a calm, composed feel in the hands.\n\nSolid spruce top paired with tight-grained rosewood back and sides. 650mm scale with a traditional 52mm nut, fan braced, and built to the standard Kohno was known for in this period. There is a fair case to believe we're talking CSA\/ Brazilian rosewood here. This attribution reflects common materials used on Kohno Professional J guitars from this period and observed wood characteristics, as well as the gorgeous vanilla \/ caramel smell the timber has. Kohno guitars from this period are typically found in CSA rosewood, particularly for the top tier 'Professional J'; however as a dealer I always prefer to describe this conservatively. Neck geometry is acceptable, which is important given this guitar is built with a Spanish heel. One 11cm crack on the rear of the instrument from the heel (which is stable). None the less, a serious player’s instrument with a monster tone that is well settled in and sounding mature. Serial #NA0603. Includes the original hardcase.","brand":"Reemes Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53839046148415,"sku":"RMC-MUS-G61146121","price":2497.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0990\/7535\/9039\/files\/ET2738EchoTone9-1-26-6221.jpg?v=1782094984","url":"https:\/\/www.reemesmusic.com\/products\/1991-masaru-kohno-professional-j-japan-french-polished-natural-ohsc","provider":"Reemes Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
