USED MOON / MBC-5-370 KOA/E GO Natural [12]

This is a limited edition model built to commemorate the 15th anniversary of MOON GUITARS.
It was established in 1978, so the year of manufacture is believed to be 1993.
It has a 5-piece wenge/bubinga neck, ebony fingerboard, through neck construction, mahogany center body wing, and flamed koa on the top and back.
The head veneer is also made of flamed koa and has a discreet "15th Anniversary" inlay.
Two Bartolini soapbar pickups are installed, and a Bartolini NTBT preamp is built in. The tone pot can be switched between active and passive by pushing/pulling the tone pot.
The sound quality is very well-balanced, and the response is very good, following fast phrases and making it a very playable model.

There are many scratches and dents overall, and the metal parts are dull and the plating is peeling.
The strap pin has been replaced with a locking type, and the position of the strap pin on the 6th string side horn has been slightly changed (strap side part is missing).
The neck is a little wavy and high, but there are no problems with playing it as it is now.
The neck has been maintained and cleaned at our repair center, and is in good playing condition.
