NGD tomorrow (not a Gibson)

Recommended Posts

Having recently sold my Moon dread & Martin HD28 I'm expecting delivery tomorrow of a 000 Moon which should complement my 2 Gibson slope dreads nicely (leaving me some decent change as well!). I've changed Jimmy's stock spec to match the Gibson scale & nut widths that I like. Here's the spec:

 

MOON Model-0003 – LEFT HAND

• Indian Rosewood back & sides

• Alaskan Sitka Spruce soundboard

• Mahogany neck

• Ebony fingerboard

• Ebony headplate

• Ebony bridge

• Abalone rosette – triple ring

• White binding

• Inner b/w/b purfling

• Pearl fret markers

• Tortoiseshell scratchplate

• Grover V97 machine heads

• Bone Nut & Saddle

• Side dots

• Tusq bridge pins

• Width at nut: 1.725”

• 24.75”Scale

• Strings: Elixir .012 - .054

• Finish: Natural Gloss

With Hiscox case

Sounds great. I've heard great things about Jimmy Moon and have often considered having him make me a guitar. Be sure to post pics when you get it.

 

Jimmy makes an awesome guitar. My RD3 dread was wonderful but sadly I commissioned it when playing mainly fingerstyle so ordered a 46mm nut which I found very tough once I'd switched mainly to flatpicking/Bluegrass & as a high end custom build represented too much tied up cash to keep.

I'm originally from Glasgow and he is very well known and respected. Perhaps some day I will be lucky enough to own my own moon built to my own specifications.

Here's Jimmy Moon, the man who built her, holding my new 000, fresh off the production line after set up....should arrive with me this morning.

Congratulations! I've heard lots of glowing reports of Moon's guitars!

 

You must be over the moon (sorry) :)
