{"product_id":"838013","title":"momose Modern Virtuoso series MC2-MV\/M (BR\/OIL)","description":"momose Modern Virtuoso series\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e [Introduction]\u003cbr\u003e The word \"Virtuoso\" in the series name is an English word meaning a master, expert, master, or maestro of art (especially music).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e When we hear the term \"musical master,\" we may imagine a somewhat ostentatious image of someone with a portrait hanging in a music room, but nowadays, with a variety of platforms, especially social media, allowing people to express themselves in a variety of ways, anyone can express themselves without hesitation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The new \"Modern Virtuoso series\" from Momose Custom Craft Guitars, produced at the Asuka Factory in Matsumoto, Nagano Prefecture, pays homage to the history of traditional electric guitars while reviewing and updating the detailed specifications to create electric guitars that fit into the modern music scene, where any guitarist can become a virtuoso.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This is a valuable lineup produced by the skilled craftsmen at Asuka Factory, who began production in 1977 and have steadily built up their skills and experience while witnessing the changing times for over 40 years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Straight-grain maple neck: This neck is cut with a straight grain, which is more resistant to warping than typical electric guitar necks. This grain is difficult to obtain because it has a low yield rate when cutting wood from a log. However, when used for the neck, the grain is stronger against the tension of the strings. This results in a stronger neck with less bowing and backbow, a tendency common in electric guitar necks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ◆Pickup\u003cbr\u003e The Classic Strat, designed to produce a clean sound with clear contours reminiscent of 1950s Strats, is placed in the front and center, while the Clone '59 model, which is designed to reproduce a PAF, adds a modern flavor and a Classic Hot, which has been tuned to slightly emphasize the bass and extend sustain, is placed in the rear.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ◆GOTOH Bridge Equipped with a reliable two-point support tremolo unit made by GOTOH.\u003cbr\u003e The 510T series eschews traditional vintage styling for a more functional tremolo system. It features a unique arm system with minimal clearance. To ensure strength and wear resistance at the edge, which serves as the fulcrum for movement, the plate is made of high-hardness chrome-molybdenum steel. It is precision-machined and finished with a high-level heat treatment. The fulcrum is a two-point anchor nut type with a stud lock (PAT.). Furthermore, a block with a uniquely shaped FST mechanism (PAT.) prevents string interference between the saddle and ball end, dramatically improving tuning recovery after arm movements.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ◆Hipshot peg\u003cbr\u003e This guitar features locking tuning machines from Hipshot, a company founded in California in 1983. The combination of precision-cut 18:1 gears and nylon bearings ensures smooth operation and accurate tuning over the long term. The height of the posts on the tuning machines is different for each string, ensuring proper tension against the nut. This mechanism eliminates the need for a string guide.\u003cbr\u003e For example, when using extreme arm movements, the strings that wrap around the string guide and tuning post from the nut multiple times can cause the tuning to go out of tune when returning from arm down. By using Hipshot locking tuning pegs, the strings are almost completely wrapped around the tuning peg post (about half a turn around the tuning peg post), and they don't get caught in the string guide. This dramatically improves tuning stability after arm movements.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Frets: The JESCAR frets are a standard feature on modern component guitars. Crafted with decades of experience in precision machinery, JESCAR frets offer not only a beautiful appearance but also a consistent, stable quality compared to existing frets.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ◆Oil-soaked high-density buffalo bone nuts Generally, nuts and saddles are made from a variety of materials, including cow bone, tusk, ivory, brass, plastic, and carbon fiber, each with its own advantages and disadvantages, but Momose products have consistently used cow bone.\u003cbr\u003e This time, we have adopted a nut made from buffalo bone, which is even denser and ensures consistent quality.\u003cbr\u003e Even with cow bone, there are areas with high and low bone density depending on the part and individual bone. If the bone has low density, it will have noticeable holes in it, and the texture will be porous. For the buffalo bones used this time, we set a specific gravity standard at the purchasing stage, and decided to use only those with a density of 1.7 or higher. This standard is denser and more dense than conventional cow bones, and we believe it will have advantages in terms of appearance, texture, and sound quality. The specific gravity of ivory is said to be between 1.7 and 1.9, and one of its characteristics is that it has similar material properties to ivory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e *The image is a sample.
