This one looks pretty nice - anyone heard of Momose before? There seems to be quite a bit of info on him on the web, most of it saying good things...

Quote:
MOMOSE Custom Craft Guitars is directed by Momose who is one of the best Japanese guitar craftsman. He leads a few competent craftsmen and works as the manufacturing team to produce all hand-made guitars in very limited quantities.

Originally, Momose and his craftsmen had managed the HEADWAY which was the highest peak of domestic acoustic guitar brand for 30 years. They thought that it was necessary for each wood material to be processed according to its individual feature, flexibility and weight. For that reason they carefully judge woods by their five senses, then process and manufacture their products.

Momose guitars arranges Gibson Les Paul, SG, Fender Stratocaster, Telecacter and Mustang, with the style of Momose. The company gains considerably credibility with many musicians.

Interesting: if this bass is the same or similar model to this one on Momose's page:
http://www.deviser-momose.com/products/ ... jb1-tw-nj/
then it sells new for 220,000 Yen, which translates into roughly $2700 !!!!

Didn't read that part... that surely is reassuring!

It looks pretty cool - but is that a fender logo on the headstock?

If you read the listing, you'll see the seller claims a previous owner put a "F" decal on the headstock. in some photos, the decal is partially covered. At least he's not trying to claim it's a Fender neck.
