It’s all about the finish

At Munson Guitars we always prefer to use finishes that leave the grain visible, so you can see the beauty of the wood. The Ash body is sports a bare naked finish, with traditional nitrocellulose that will allow the finish to age gracefully. The flame maple neck, which includes a dual action truss rod is protected and enhanced by with satin nitrocellulose which delivers a hard wearing, yet soft satin feel for a super fast action.

Proudly British

The Munson Mosquito is designed and crafted in Britain by our luthier and is offered as part of our ex-demo stock.
