Kanoh guitars are built in low volume by hand and rarely surface outside Japan, making them something of a hidden gem among classical players and collectors who know the name. The 630mm scale offers a slightly more compact, comfortable reach for players who find standard 650mm instruments a stretch, without sacrificing the tonal depth associated with his higher-grade #50 line.
This is a rare opportunity within Australia to own a guitar crafted from authentic, old-growth Brazilian Rosewood without dealing with the high costs, risks, and complexities of international CITES import permits.
Every guitar we sell undergoes a rigorous setup process and series of checks to ensure it is free from structural issues and plays at its absolute best, before being re-strung with a set of D’Addario Pro Arte hard tension strings.
