USED Momose / Original Series MJ2-STD M WBD [10]

The Momose MJ-2—whose rugged, well-worn appearance has become a symbol of its heroic spirit—has arrived!

We’ve received a Momose Custom Craft Guitars MJ-2, believed to have been made in the early 2010s.
It’s a 4-string model with simple, easy-to-play passive controls.
The finish is White Blonde, but the outer edges feature an opaque cream-colored spray-painted White Blonde burst.
Although it was in quite rough shape when it arrived, professional repairs have restored it to ideal “player’s condition”—far surpassing its original state upon arrival.
While there are numerous visible signs of heavy use on the exterior, any issues related to playability or the wood have been resolved.

Repairs Performed After Arrival
・A crack near the 4th-string peg on the headstock was repaired with adhesive (although the button shaft of the 4th-string peg is slightly warped, there are no issues with rotational torque, and tuning operation feels smooth)
・Adhesive repair of delamination and cracks on the fingerboard near the nut
・Repaired a crack near the neck pocket using adhesive and partial spot painting
・Fret lifting at areas where the fingerboard had peeled, full fret leveling, and shaping of the fret edges
The likely cause of the above issues may have been the guitar being knocked over on stage or elsewhere. However, although it took more than half a year, we have overcome the damage and defects and brought the guitar back to life.

Pickups and Controls
・Pickups: The entire underside is covered with cushioning foam, making it difficult to verify the specifications; the pickup wiring is of the American cross-wired type
・Potentiometer Dates: All are manufactured by CTS; the neck and bridge pickup potentiometers are difficult to read due to solder marks; the tone potentiometer was manufactured in the 9th week of 2017
・Capacitors: Vitamin-Q Oil Paper Cap. 0.047 MFD 630 VDC TAICHI TONE FACTOR
・Jack: Switchcraft #11 Mono
While the pickups and electronic components may have been replaced, this guitar may still possess potential equal to or greater than that of the original.

Overall Condition
This instrument appears to have been played frequently.
Considering its age, rather than describing it as having been “overused,” it exudes the aura of an irreplaceable companion that has served as the main bass for just under 15 years.
The entire body is covered in a magnificent array of scratches and marks from all kinds of wear and tear, but its appearance—which goes beyond simulated finishes like “aged” or “relic”—is simply irresistible.
However, since there were occasional limited-run “Aged” models produced in the past, it’s possible that this Aged model has evolved even further through regular play. (Since there is no warranty card or list of included accessories, it is difficult to determine whether this is a standard or Aged model.)
Why not become this MJ2’s trusted companion?
