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.
Each instrument is handcrafted at the Deviser Aska Workshop in Nagano, where experienced luthiers focus on careful wood selection, precise construction, and meticulous finishing. The MC1 series retains the familiar feel of a traditional design while incorporating subtle refinements that enhance balance, comfort, and playability.
With its clean lines and understated aesthetic, the MC1/M reflects Momose’s commitment to building instruments that feel both timeless and refined.
Tone & Character
The alder body paired with a maple neck and maple fingerboard produces a tone that is clear, articulate, and well-balanced, with a slightly brighter attack and enhanced snap.
Equipped with Momose VS-1 single-coil pickups, the MC1/M delivers classic vintage-style tones with excellent clarity and dynamic response. Whether played clean or with gain, it maintains note definition and responsiveness across all positions.
Craftsmanship
Every Momose guitar is built at the Aska Workshop, where a small team of craftsmen prioritises precision and consistency.
Premium components such as Jescar frets, GOTOH hardware, and an oiled bone nut ensure reliability and performance. Combined with Momose’s careful finishing and setup process, the MC1/M offers exceptional playability and a refined, boutique feel.
