Dream guitar (pt.4) - Brian Moore MC/1

Nothing but good ideas... this is my best way of describing this awesome instrument. It has everything that makes an excelent guitar. Again, I'm not fortunate enough to say that I have one of these, but someday... you know, I'll get there.

Nowadays, one can get his/hers hands on an i-Guitar, but even with the i1, it's not the same. I happened to try several MC/1 models at a guitar exibit at Exponor (my thanks to their customer representative, who's always helpful... with $200 or $2000 intruments !!!). The guitars are probably the best you can built using beautiful and extremely tonal woods, composite materials and graphite reinforcements.

The bad thing about it is that, due to copyright issues (the graphite reinforced neckthru construction), this guitar cannot be obtained except for a very limited run of 12 custom designed guitars per year.

The body contour is perfect, the input jack position extremely well located, the (flame, quilt and solid) body top finishes are excellent, the hardware is handpicked, the pickups are custom chosen, the MIDI & piezo options are endless, the necks are narrow and so playable, the head design is nothing short of spectacular... what can I say more.

I can leave the specs and some pictures...
