Moser Genesis Custom

Genesis Means New Beginnings, Not Corporate Compromises.

Neal Moser didn't build his reputation by following established formulas or chasing market trends. This Genesis represents what happens when a master luthier receives carte blanche to create instruments exactly as his decades of experience dictate, without boardroom committees second-guessing every creative decision.

That hand-oiled finish over figured black limba wings reveals wood grain patterns that took decades to develop, preserved under tactile surfaces that feel organic rather than plastic-smooth. The Gabon ebony stringers provide visual contrast while contributing structural integrity that mass-produced instruments simply cannot match. Custom shop guitars should feel different in your hands, and this Genesis delivers that tactile luxury from first touch.

But here's where serious players will immediately notice the difference: that 20-inch fingerboard radius. Most manufacturers compromise between comfortable chord work and technical speed, settling for 12-inch curves that satisfy neither requirement completely. Moser chose speed, creating an almost ruler-flat playing surface that eliminates fretting out during aggressive bending while making complex scalar runs feel effortless under your fingers.

Those DiMarzio Imperium Dave Davidson signature pickups represent serious tone-chasing wisdom. Davidson's work with Revocation demands pickups that can handle everything from crystalline clean passages to face-melting technical death metal, often within the same song. The neck position delivers warm clarity perfect for complex chord voicings, while the bridge pickup provides focused aggression that cuts through dense mixes without becoming harsh.

The Hipshot locking tuners and bridge hardware maintain mechanical reliability that won't fail during crucial performance moments, while that bone nut and 24-fret Gabon ebony fingerboard with sculpted diamond inlays provide premium appointments that serve both aesthetic and functional purposes.

This represents custom shop philosophy at its purest: build instruments that exceed player expectations rather than merely meeting market specifications.
