MOMOSE MC2-MV/R (Modern Virtuoso Series)
Handcrafted in Nagano, Japan.
The Momose MC2-MV/R is part of the Modern Virtuoso series, a progressive evolution of the classic ST-style guitar designed for modern performance. While rooted in traditional design, it introduces refined upgrades in stability, playability, and tonal flexibility.
Each instrument is handcrafted at the Deviser Aska Workshop in Nagano, where experienced luthiers combine decades of craftsmanship with carefully selected modern specifications. The Modern Virtuoso series reflects a forward-looking approach while respecting the heritage of classic electric guitars.
With its clean silhouette and understated aesthetic, the MC2-MV/R balances vintage inspiration with contemporary performance.
Tone & Character
The two-piece ash body paired with a quartersawn maple neck and Indian rosewood fingerboard produces a tone that is articulate, dynamic, and highly responsive, with enhanced clarity and stability.
Configured in an HSS layout with Mojotone pickups, the MC2-MV/R delivers a wide tonal range — combining classic single-coil sparkle with a fuller, more powerful humbucker in the bridge for added versatility across genres.
Craftsmanship
Built at the Aska Workshop, the MC2-MV/R reflects Momose’s commitment to precision, with additional emphasis on modern performance features.
A quartersawn maple neck improves structural stability, while premium components such as Jescar frets, Hipshot locking tuners, and a GOTOH 510 two-point tremolo provide enhanced tuning stability and smooth operation.
Combined with Momose’s meticulous finishing and setup process, the MC2-MV/R offers a refined, performance-focused playing experience.
