USED Momose / MC1-LTD 2007 [10]

2007 MC1 limited edition model with quilted maple top and rose neck.

The body is 2pcs Alder center and its top is made of high quality quilted maple. The neck is 1pcs rosewood, and its fingerboard surface is well oiled and of high quality. Scale 648mm 22F specification, nut width is about 42mm, fretboard surface is 210R, and fret size is Narrow Tall size. PU is original and Lollar's Blackface is mounted front and center. The rear position has been replaced with a Duncan SJBJ-1b. Controls have also been modified, with 1Vol, 1Tone, and a mini-switch for coil tap. The tone is also dual-axis, with a center click, and is driven like a TBX tone control. The pegs are locking type, and the tremolo is a 510 6-point support with a 10.8mm pitch. The arm and back panel are missing.

The body has wipe scratches, scuffs, line scratches, and dents. The pickguard is finely clouded and has picking scratches. The top of the body has large and small dents and scratches, mainly on the lower part of the body, indicating that the guitar was not a collectible and was played well. There are also scratches, line scratches, and paint peeling around the strap pins at the end of the body. There are also a few common paint cracks at the neck joints on both sides of the body. The contour edge of the body back has peeling clear paint, and like the top, it is dotted with small and large dings, scratches, and line scratches. The back of the neck is generally free of scratches and nail marks, but they do not affect the playability of the instrument. The top of the head has a few scratches, but they are not deep and can be seen in the light. The back edge of the head has a few scratches mainly on the edges. All hardware is gold, so there is some chipping, chalking, and signs of use.

The neck condition is fine, and the truss rod can be adjusted in the direction to tighten or loosen, and can still be adjusted by turning it slightly in the direction to tighten. There are no string marks on the frets and about 80% of the strings are left. Currently, the string height is adjusted at about 2.0mm on the 12F 6th string side and about 1.5mm on the 1st string side.

Overall, the guitar has been well pulled in and has a solid feeling of use, but the materials are of excellent workmanship, although the PU has been replaced and the controls have been changed. You may want to change the PU and controls to your preference. The fretboard surface is well lubricated, and the sound is like a rose neck, with tight lows and a nice edge that is pleasing to the ear. The coloring, which reminds one of tiger eye, matches the luxurious quilted maple, making this a very cool instrument.
