Johnny,
This is as fine as they come.
Very responsive.
Deep bass with melodic mids and highs.

Do Kohnos of this era have truss rods?

Default No truss

Most finely made classical guitars do not have truss rods.
This one is straight as an arrow.
Aside from a couple of playwear marks...this is as clean as they come.

Bump for a great classical. I understand that it was fairly rare for Mr. Kohno to actually sign his labels, so that's an added bonus for this guitar. I'm sure it sounds even better than it looks. GLWYS!

Thanks Andy. This is surely under priced.
Here’s a Dream Guitars video of the same model.
