A boutique Japanese brand rarely seen outside of its country of origin, Moon instruments are expertly crafted and prized for their premium componentry\/workmanship. This ST-175 is a very rare, high-tiered iteration of Moon’s Superstrat platform, boasting a white ash body with a subtle Trans Black finish, maple neck, and slab 22-fret ebony fretboard. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nWeighing 7lbs 10oz and offering ample natural sustain and note clarity, the tonewoods are an ideal platform for the trio of passive Bartolini pickups. These coils are smooth, rich, and detailed. Each pickup setting is distinct and sparkling, and the Tone control has a push\/pull that engages the bridge pickup regardless of the setting on the five-way switch unlocking all possible pickup combinations. This Moon ST-177 benefits from a professional setup here at Mike and Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nNeck Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n-Wood: Maple\u003cbr\u003e\n-Shape: Slender C, full shoulders, measuring .815” 1st fret, .920” 12th fret\u003cbr\u003e\n-Fretboard: Ebony, 22-fret, 16” radius\u003cbr\u003e\n-Frets: Medium jumbo, no wear\u003cbr\u003e\n-Scale Length: 25 1\/2”\u003cbr\u003e\n-Nut: 1 5\/8”, brass\u003cbr\u003e\n-Tuners: Crocodile Locking (Kluson-style)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nBody Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n-Wood: White ash (2pc)\u003cbr\u003e\n-Pickups: Bartolini 3S x3\u003cbr\u003e\n-Controls: Volume, Tone (push\/pull bridge), five-way pickup selector\u003cbr\u003e\n-Hardware: Vibrato with block saddles, dome-top knurled knobs, jack cup\u003cbr\u003e\n-Plastics: One-ply white pickguard, Bartolini molded pickup covers, trem cavity cover, switch tip\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThe gloss Trans Black finish subtly highlights a wide, distinctive grain in the ash body, and cosmetic wear includes buckle worming on the back, with some minor dings and a few faint finish scratches.
