My one son 19 friend scored a Momose their version of a les Paul single cut. [View all]

$1500 used yet hand crafted one piece Hondurans mahogany body Brazilian rosewood fretboard nitro finish. If this guitar had the letter G on the headstock it could have come out of their custom shop and they easily could charge an arm and a leg.
Not trying to start argument with Gibson Lester owners I’m just floored by the quality and price.

So i looked online and I’m not sure if Bacchus and Momose are same company yet there is two companies Terada and Bacchus.

To explain I’m a Burny super grade lover yet I’ll only buy a super grade if it’s manufactured by Dyna Gaki because of some of same appointments i listed above on momose. To try explain further say Tokai or Greco or burny at one time we’re being made by several different manufacturers in Japan.

Just old guy ramble dyslexic bad punctuation included and who is sometimes amazed by the craftsmanship coming out Japan. And I’m very happy for this 20 year old to have such a fine guitar i truly am , I remember this young man years ago him and my son grew up together. We all sat around jamming together.

I even sold him on a buy here pay here years ago an Aria leopard Japan a les single cut as he loved it. $20 a month from his paper route yet that summer he earned it free and clear because he helped us paint three rooms.
