MT1-STD/R

Introduction

Momose Original Series『MT』

The original “MT” model inherits the traditional TL style, but with Momose’s own unique brush-up.
Every single model is handcrafted by the Aska factory craftsmen, from woodworking to painting and assembly. The high playability resulting from the intricate construction has earned the support of top players in Japan and abroad and offers the unwavering quality that only made-in-Japan instruments can offer.

Enlarged “Large neck” joint area

Compared to the traditional TL type, the MT model has a larger gap in the horn on the higher string side.
This allows for better playability in the higher frets, and also allows players with large hands to run up to the high frets without stress.

Waist contour

The area where the waist meets the body when the guitar is held up has been contoured. This improves the fit of the guitar to the body, allowing you to enjoy stress-free playing for extended periods of time.

Joint plate drop-in design

We went with a traditional plate joint to bring out the ideal sound, but we have further enhanced playability by applying a drop-in process to the plate section.

Wood binding to prevent fretboard problems

The sides of the fingerboard feature wood binding made of the same material as the fingerboard. In addition to realizing smooth fingerboard sides, it also prevents problems such as burrs from popping out of the frets after years of use.

Widely spaced rod adjustment

The uniquely shaped headstock has a wide adjusting hole for smooth neck adjustment.
The shape of the headstock is also wider than the standard headstock, designed for ease of maintenance.

Momose VS-1 Pickups

Equipped with Momose original 『VT-1』 pickups.
They allow the natural tone of the wood to flourish in a bright tone.

*November 30, 2022, Due to the discontinuation of the use of Madagascar Rosewood fretboards, the fretboard material has been changed to Indian Rosewood.
Accordingly, the notation at the end of the product name has been changed from “NJ (=NewJacaranda: Madagascar Rosewood)” to “R (=Indian Rosewood)”.
