wow! You got that one? Good for you. It looks so beautiful and it's in gorgeous shape. I'm sure it sounds amazing. I'm glad you bought it as I was feeling the GAS for it and who needs two Kohno's anyway? (lol my sick mind was saying yes Tristan you need them both :-)

I'd be curious to hear them side by side - did Kohno get better as time went on? And what did he change over the years? I believe his bracing evolved over time. I've heard my era Kohnos described as more Fleta-like (warm) and the later Kohnos as having more piano-like trebles. That's what I've gleaned from the net anyway.

I was pleased to see the 650mm scale on yours (he made a lot at 660 that's just too long) plus he signed the label on your guitar which I've heard is rare. That Brazillian is to die for!

Play it in good health
