Very Good Condition
Official model number - Momose MES1-CM Prem/NJ
This is 1 of 6 made for the Sound Messe show in Osaka Japan in November of 2015. Based on the Momose 335 style MES1, this is a Premium version that received a Cuban Mahogany Neck and Centerblock, Mojotone '59 Clone Humbuckers and Top Lacquer finish. Top, back and sides are maple, and the fretboard is Madagascar Rosewood.
Cuban Mahogany has a long history as a tonewood and is denser than Honduran Mahogany, supposedly closer sounding to Rosewood. Tonewood aside, this is a masterfully built instrument, typical of the high quality instruments Momose produces. As with their entire product line, this instrument is all handmade to Custom Shop standards.
The condition is very good and it plays well up and down the neck with only very light playwear. It's simply one of the best 335 style guitars I've owned.
The neck is on the chunky side with the following measurements
- Width - 1.69" at the nut, 2.07" at the 12th fret
- Depth - 0.88" at the first fret, 0.96" at the 12th fret
Weight is 7.6 pounds.
Includes Original Branded Hard Case.
