BLOOD MOON
The Blood Moon is the first original model from Moon Guitars, designed to offer an enhanced level of comfort beyond the traditional S-style shape, and crafted with an extra dose of attitude.
The early versions of this model also cemented many of the design ideas that have become staples of the Moon Guitars brand, such as:
Rounded neck heel, for improved upper fret access and comfort
Stainless steel neck bolts and threaded inserts (instead of traditional neck screws), providing a stronger connection between the neck and body, providing more sustain and stronger tone
On Custom models only: Titanium reinforced necks, for added strength and stability, as well as increased sustain
