Sound-comparison with the Fender Acoustasonic:
• Shootout Mooncaster Fender Acoustas...
This the last of 7 prototypes and I've played around with a lot of options: standard bridge-pins, X-Bracing, shorter scale, ladder-bracing, cedar-top, soundholes in different shapes and sizes, but for me this is (up to now) the best sounding version. A top with traditional bracing is resonating completely different than this laminated one. But in this special case - with that rather small body - it worked best mor me.

Sounds thousand time better than their new release! And yours looks better too! NICE JOB!
-
I seen a lot of people attempt to build one of these but I have to say I think your design is one of the nicest. Good job
-
Beautiful built. The idea of mounting the strings in the rear is absolutely convincing! TY
-
Incredible looking! Looks perfectly balance! Possibly a great travel guitar!
-
I like the brace you threw in and didn’t mention 😂
-
I’d hace loved a walkthrough for all the process including the CNC, sanding... the result is amazing man!!! Congrats
-
I like the resonation harp behind the bridge.
-
That's a beautiful guitar and even with a small body the sound quality is really great. I want to make something like this in the future.
-
looks beautiful... but the sound is just amazing! I want to turn an old strat into an hybrid and this video just gave me more ideas! thanks for sharing it!
-
Another great build. Beautiful guitar, too!
-
Oh my goooooood this design is astonishing!!! And the mechanism is cool And the video editing is top notch Thank you for sharing this!
-
Certainly a candidate for the Great Guitar Build off, excellent work..
-
One of the best sounding guitars I’ve ever heard.
-
The reasoning behind the birdge and the vibration of the top is really interesting, this needs for sure further testing It would be interesting to hear a comparison between this guitar and a classic acustisonic one Great job!
-
Very, very beautiful design with a good tone, lacking in bass as expected. To me, the internal pickup sound offers a better overall sound. All in all, an outstanding work that really deserves attention. Congrats !
-
This needs so much more attention; this is amazing !!
-
I lost it when i heard the first strum. Man i wasn't expecting it to be that good. I would pay a decent amount just for the design let alone the tone. Good job Sir
-
Such a beautiful design, great tone too!
-
Solid idea. Great execution. Having the neck that deep in the pocket has to help with that clear sound.
-
You know that sounded pretty good actually better than all the other homemade bills that I’ve heard!
