MOMOSE MC1-MV/R (Modern Virtuoso Series)
Handcrafted in Nagano, Japan.
The Momose MC1-MV/R is part of the Modern Virtuoso series, a refined evolution of the classic ST-style guitar designed for today’s players. While rooted in traditional design, it introduces modern enhancements in playability, stability, and tonal versatility.
Each instrument is handcrafted at the Deviser Aska Workshop in Nagano, where experienced luthiers focus on precision construction, careful wood selection, and meticulous finishing. The MV series represents a more progressive interpretation of Momose’s craftsmanship, built to meet the demands of contemporary musicians.
With its clean silhouette and understated aesthetic, the MC1-MV/R balances vintage inspiration with modern performance.
Tone & Character
The alder body paired with a quartersawn maple neck and Indian rosewood fingerboard produces a balanced and articulate tone with strong clarity and stability.
Configured in an HSS layout with Mojotone pickups, the MC1-MV/R offers a wider tonal range than traditional models — delivering classic single-coil sparkle alongside a fuller, more powerful bridge humbucker for added versatility across genres.
Craftsmanship
Built at the Aska Workshop, the MC1-MV/R reflects Momose’s commitment to precision and consistency, with additional attention given to modern performance features.
A quartersawn maple neck enhances structural stability, while premium components such as Jescar frets, Hipshot locking tuners, and a GOTOH 510 two-point tremolo ensure improved tuning stability and smooth operation.
Combined with Momose’s careful finishing and setup, the MC1-MV/R offers a refined, performance-focused playing experience.
