The Momose MC1/M is a refined interpretation of the classic ST-style electric guitar, combining traditional design with the precision and craftsmanship of Japanese guitar building.
Handcrafted at the Aska Workshop in Nagano, the MC1/M pairs an alder body with a maple neck and fingerboard for a clear, articulate tone with a bright attack and natural snap.
Tone & Character
Equipped with Momose VS-1 single-coil pickups, the MC1/M delivers vintage-inspired tones with excellent clarity and dynamic response. Clean or driven, notes remain defined and responsive across all five pickup positions.
Craftsmanship
Built with Jescar frets, GOTOH hardware, and an oiled bone nut, every detail is selected for reliable performance and refined playability.

Black Crane Notes
The maple fingerboard gives the MC1/M a slightly brighter and more immediate response compared to the rosewood version. A beautifully balanced ST-style guitar for players who appreciate traditional tone, precise Japanese craftsmanship, and understated design.
