Here’s a sweet piece of California lutherie that’s opened up handsomely: the 2010 Moonstone 000-42 in Cocobolo and Adirondack. We love the excellent balance across the registers, and the velvet richness of the midrange especially which helps fill out the voice. Playability is buttery with a 24 3/4” scale, and in spite of the short scale we were able to tune this one down without loss of clarity and projection. Indeed, this Moonstone took to DADGAD like it was born in the tuning. The Cocobolo back and sides have dramatic figuring, while the Adirondack top has tight grain and is set off by 42-style Abalone trim. A slim build weight at 4.5lbs, in a 000 package, makes for a comfortable playing experience. 10/10 would recommend.

This 2014 000-42 from Moonstone Guitars is dripping with both prewar aesthetics and tone—42-style Abalone trim throughout paired up with 100-year-old Brazilian Rosewood and an Adirondack Spruce top. Short scale setup is easy on the hands and adds a nice touch of warmth to the bass response. Nitrocellulose finish buffed to a high gloss, Ivoroid bindings and Waverly tuners in a slotted headstock layout bring it all together.
We love how easy and fun this Moonstone is to play, with its silky setup and even balance across the registers. It’s virtually mark-free, too, so you’re getting a new-looking Moonstone with prewar-sounding tone.Other keywords: 42 style, abolone, brazilain, fingerpicking, adriondack, l120, cedar creek, pre-war

Steve Helgeson of Moonstone Guitars has been making great instrument for a long time. This 000-12C cutaway is a superb example. Steve always manages to get a lot of tone out of every box he builds. This one is strong and full sounding. The trebles are thick and rich and the overall voice is very clear and articulate. It play like a dream and the cutaway provides full access to the upper register. This is a small body gem for the player seeking a big tone and a cutaway.
