CRESCENT MOON
Designed in collaboration with Les Godfrey of Godfrey Guitars in 2022, the Crescent Moon is our take on the classic V shape!
Comfort and Playability: The Crescent Moon takes inspiration from the iconic V shape but infuses it with design elements from across Moon Guitars' range. It's engineered to be more comfortable to sit with than traditional V guitars, making those long practice sessions or live performances more enjoyable.
User-Friendly Features: We've also placed the output jack in a spot that's easier to access — no more fumbling around during a quick setup or instrument change. This thoughtful detail ensures your focus stays on the music.
Embrace the fresh design and enhanced comfort of the Crescent Moon, a guitar that respects tradition while boldly moving forward.
