Thread Name: Moondog Guitars
Subject: RE: Moondog Guitars
Ive just got a small consignment of Moondog guitars.Hand built in the same small workshops as the original Cardiff based company, Moondog Guitars.I have some Grand Auditoriums,cutaways and Spirits.Great build quality, particularly the GA, great sound.Ive just kitted out my new build GA cutaway with a Shertler Onboard,just fabulous, great true sound replication and so fresh.The ebony fingerboard is a delight for your fingers and Tims last design improvements both sound and aesthetically are classic.The cases are of OK quality and some aspects of the final finish are not as good as they seem to be on mass build guitars.They were built with sound as the primary quality and this has been achieved.The Harmony central reviews of the first Moondog GA's were compared to classic Taylors and Martins in the £1500 to £2500 bracket, add a Shertler system and you have a formidable, tough, v-attractive, everyday and gigging guitar.Im a special needs teacher,Im a strummer and harmonica player in my spare time.I use these guitars everyday and they never fail to impress.
