First Mooncaster

[GuitarMadCap]

I finished this yesterday. I absolutely love this guitar. It’s very difficult to put down.

Walnut body and neck (59 Round/43mm)

Ebony fretboard (12”)

Seth Lovers—New favorite pickups!

Next, I need to find a case and think of a good name.

It's so fancy! Nice build.

Very handsome guitar! Could be a movie star! I would name it ragamuffin.

When you figure out the case, can you post? Thanks!
Gorgeous!

I’ll consider it. I was thinking something a little more phishy though.

No complaints. Better than a 335 and no thumb blockage as on a Les Paul. Maybe not as comfortable as a Strat on the upper frets but it’s a nice trade off for the semi-hollow tones. I got the contoured heel so that probably helps.

This is honestly my favorite guitar. I’d let my Fenders, Gibsons and PRS burn in a fire but rescue this one if I could only pick one. There is nothing about this guitar I don’t love. The Seth lovers, in this guitar at least, have the best humbucker tone I’ve ever heard.

Still no luck on a case. I read here on the forum that the ES-339/Casino Coupe case fits. This is definitely incorrect—not even close. The upper horn is about 2-3 inches too long for that case.

Great info....thank you. Enjoy that beautiful guitar!
