Moon JB-4A (BT/E CR) [Rough Finish]

Active JB model with our own custom specs

Moon is popular for its high-quality instruments and reasonable pricing, and by producing only a few instruments per day, they have stubbornly maintained their quality. They are a proud Japanese component manufacturer that continues to be supported by many artists both in Japan and abroad, including Larry Graham, Randy Hope Taylor, Mitsuru Sudo, TAKE-SHIT (cocobat), and Mitsuru Okamine (THE BACK HORN).

This is a custom-made version of Moon’s standard 5-string active JB model, custom-made to our specifications. The default wood for active models is ash, but we’ve deliberately changed it to alder. The standard ebony fingerboard and Bartolini XTCT preamps deliver a punchier, fuller sound. While maintaining a peak sound in the low and high ranges, it still retains the brilliance of an active guitar, while also boasting a thick, clear sound that stands out in an ensemble. Combined with the high playability of a JB-style model, this is a versatile model that will perform well in any genre or playing style.

The color is “Blue Turquoise” with a matching head. Although it is a poly finish, the usual final buffing (polishing) has been deliberately omitted, leaving the surface with a rough texture. It maintains the hardness and stability of a poly coating, while also giving off the warmth of a lacquer finish, making it the perfect finish for the Moon. These were realized at our request, and are special specifications not found in the standard specs.

This guitar combines professional-spec sound and playability with unique specifications, so be sure to give it a try.

*Due to the painting method, there may be slight unevenness or paint bubbles on the surface of the body, but this is due to the specifications and does not affect the sound or performance in any way.
