This Strat-type guitar features a look that respects the legendary funk bassist who has been using Moon's signature model for many years.
The snow white finish and gold parts give it a divine look that is sure to look great on stage. The body, neck, head, and fingerboard are of course dyed snow white, and depending on the player's preference and generation, it has a deep sound potential that can be used to play funk from the past or pop rock in the modern style. The one-of-a-kind special design is sure to make you go "wow"!
The basic specs are based on Moon's orthodox "ST-C", and this carefully handmade instrument is also very comfortable to play and the neck grip is just right. The body and neck are made by the same technique as that of the "ST-C", and the neck is handmade by the same craftsman.
The body and neck are made of the same woods as those used for his basses, and the combination of ash body and maple neck/fingerboard produces a crisp sound that is different from the usual Moon guitars. The brass nut, modeled after the one on his basses, is a notable feature. The golden color looks good, but the rich sustain and sparkling sound are also very attractive.
The pickups are Moon's original "OXALIS ST". This pickup has a very excellent volume balance of the sound, and is characterized by the stickiness of the mid-high to mid-low range of notes. It will create a pleasant groove whether you are playing alone or with a band. This guitar has a different look and feel, while still providing the full flavor of the Moon sound, which is easy to use.
The instrument shows some signs of use (scratches, picking marks, metal parts and screws are cloudy, etc.).
