❌SOLD❌ M. Sakurai No.5 Classical Guitar, 1976

On January 27, 2023 /

Masaki Sakurai is the nephew of the late, renowned Japanese luthier Masaru Kohno, and as customary, is the heir to the Kohno shop. The M. Sakurai No.5 was one of his early instruments designed and built during his apprenticeship beginning in 1976. The M. Sakurai No.5 classical guitar is based closely on Kohno designs, and construction of these early models would have been closely supervised by Kohno himself.
