Description

The Moon Guitars Japan Custom JB-5 MITSURU SUTOH MODEL is a testament to precision engineering and artistic craftsmanship, making it an indispensable asset for any serious bassist. This 5-string electric bass, designed in collaboration with acclaimed bassist Mitsuru Sutoh, is crafted to meet the rigorous demands of both studio and stage settings.

This innovative design ensures that your performance remains uninterrupted and dynamic, whether you're laying down a groove or cutting through with a solo.
