Well, this is one I never thought I’d sell. I custom ordered it from the Momose factory
its one of their very ‘toppermost of the range’ guitars.  (Momose are solely a custom shop division). 2014 ish from memory

They are built to impeccable Japanese standards

Dark back. One piece mahogany
  Ebony board ( with the tight grain I’ve ever seen, in fact. Very smooth)
Jescar EVO 6105 gold frets, which have the slinky feel of N/S yet last far longer.  

The guitar is mint. I haven’t found a ding yet. (If you think you see a mark, it’ll be a reflection)

OHSC included 

43mm nut. Full C neck profile very comfortable as no fat shoulders.  
It’s a 59 profile, certainly not a clubby one, nor 60s slim

Nickel hardware 9lb 4oz

I’m a retired hobbyist. Never gigged (!). non smoking home 

I’m afraid this is collection only.  I don’t think Momose ever offered this as a lefty. 
I’m based in Putney

  • Giving this custom built mij a bump. And I’ve added a couple of photos showing the case (upper photo shows colour most accurately)

    I’m  open to offers, but I may end up selling via Charlie Chandler instead

    Thanks !  

    Momose are the Custom shop for Deviser guitars (Bacchus etc) and they concentrate on exact copies of the usual suspects. They’re well known in Japan

    For some reason, the Gibson lawyer don’t seem to have hit them with the ‘cease and desist’ type of letter (hence the headstock)

    Lovely, if I didn't already have a Goldtop MIJ Tokai Love Rock I would be strongly tempted!
