One of only 36 hand built by Steve Helgeson

Moonstone guitars, founded by Steve Helgeson, has been producing some of the worlds finest hand-crafted acoustic, electric, and bass guitars for nearly 38 years. Self taught, in 1972, Steve set up his first shop in the woods of Moonstone Heights, California. There he experimented primarily with acoustic guitar designs.

Moonstone Eclipse basses transmit the greatest sustain as a result of the ridged, unique neck-through construction. Ultra stable, longitudinal grain, graphite fibers are used as dual support stringers, straight through the neck and body. These stabilize the neck and reduce harmonic resonant-frequency vibrations (dead spots). Bartolini 95 bass pickups deliver the clearest, truest voice for your bass – deep lows, punchy mids, high-end “growl,” and everything in between. Bartolini is the industry standard for professional-caliber bass pickups.
