RARE <> Momose MES1-BP/NJ <> Bacchus Deviser etc <> Hand Made <> Madagascar Rosewood <> Custom Shop

This rare Momose MES1-BP/NJ was hand made in 2013 at the Deviser Aska workshop in Nagano prefecture, Matsumoto city, Japan. Deviser is the parent company of Bacchus, Headway, Momose, Seventy Seven, etc. 2013 was the first year of cataloged production for the hand made Momose MES1.
This particular Momose MES1 looks to be in all original condition as there are no signs of alteration or modification.
This example has also been extremely well cared for as it is a nine year old instrument with very little evidence of use other than some hardware oxidation. For a nine year old instrument this guitar is extremely clean.  
The Momose 'Custom Craft Guitars' produced at the Deviser Aska workshop are crafted in limited small batches by luthiers that are dedicated to top shelf quality. The 'Custom Craft Guitars' are true 'custom shop' level quality instruments that typically out-perform most other guitar brand offerings that have much higher price points. 
You could purchase a Gib$on Custom Shop ES-335 that co$t two to three times as much but why pay two to three times more for fret edge binding, mass produced lower quality, and Gib$on on the head stock?
