If you want to stand out in the crowd, do we have the guitar for you! This is a rare Kawai Moonsault MS-1000 in a Silverburst finish. The Moonsault is an iconic Japanese guitar design from the 1980s thanks to its one of a kind crescent shaped body. This Moonsault has two humbuckers each with a coil-split toggle, a toggle for phase switching, coil-tapping, and the MS-1000 had an on-board boost for driving your amp, as it was a top of the line model. The Moonsault also has pearl body binding, and crescent fretboard inlays to the rosewood board. It is in excellent condition with minimal wear to be seen on it. There is no case included with this guitar.
