In emerald green,figured maple-top on mahogany body.Korean built.Unique B/moore shape and design . Locking sperzels as standard,gold fittings.

Sound : 9
The range of sounds is awesome, apart from not having the two HB' option due to the single-coil centre p/up. I personally like the sound of twin HB's ala' gibson mode. Tracks like a b**ch thanks to the RMC system fitted,also very nice acoustic sound just lacking the Godin eq facility on my LGXT. The screw-in trem-arm is a pain as they alway's seem loose and wobbley. Advice here guy's is drop a small spring into the arm-hole before fitting the arm, this then tensions it nicely and it works like it should,and stops it flopping.

Action, Fit, & Finish : 9
Bought 2nd hand so set-up not to my liking,Played around for a while and got it better but needs some time when string change comes around to get the action right.I think these are very underrated guitars for what they offer.

Reliability/Durability : 10
Made to last and no reason to panic. Always carry another just in case ,
as a working pro' you cannot be let down by gear at work.

Customer Support : 10
Excellent people to deal with.

Overall Rating : 10
Part of an expanding collection,treating myself after a long career of making do. I buy what I fancy and sell if it is not what I wanted.
Always buy good gear and you will not lose when selling on.I would buy another BM' no problem. wish it had eq. on piezo but sounds good anyway.

I have the transparent blue with gold hardware, real nice finish. It's a beautiful looking guitar. All the specs are on the Brian Moore website

Sound : 10
This is a very versatile guitar which can achieve pretty much any style.
I use a Fender Reissue Blues Deluxe amp with an Electro Harmonix Metal Muff through an Xotic BB Preamp and Xotic RC Booster which with this guitar I have a lot of tones to mess with. It has Seymour Duncan pups, neck and bridge humbuckers and a single coil in the middle, a piezo pup for acoustic tones and a 13 pin jack for guitar synths or access to software instruments via a Roland GI-20 guitar interface or any other guitar interface equipped with the 13 pin jack.
It has a coil tap to split the humbuckers to single coil.
It comes with a 'Y' cable and 13 pin cable to blend everything together at the same time if desired.

Action, Fit, & Finish : 9
It's great to play. You can adjust it like any other guitar to whatever setup fits your comfort.
When I got it everything felt great and stills does. Action, easy access to higher frets, no buzzing, quiet when using the humbuckers (as should be). Terrific guitar, even from the factory. With very minimal setup.

Reliability/Durability : 9
The reliability is of no concern. I have gigged with it, no problems very dependable.
There is one thing about the guitar that does not make it the ultimate tool for the versatile guitarist that plays live, is the synth pup tracking.
No matter what claims any manufacturer makes concerning the use of guitars being able to trigger & track synth sounds via their devices, whether it's the magnetic hex pup in the Brian Moore guitar or a Roland mounted pup, the tracking is always going to be subjective depending on the player and the particular patch they are working with. Myself in particular would never use Brian Moore's guitar synth pup feature live, because of it's tracking but that's just me.
On a positive note, the synth pup is awesome for studio work. I don't play the keyboard or piano but I can now get all the sounds that a hardware or software synth can get.
I use Logic Pro 7. The software instruments in that program alone are absolutely terrific, in fact Logic Pro 7 is absolutely terrific (a little plug for Apple). I use the Brian Moore guit. with a Roland GI-20 to trigger the software instruments in Logic and have the capability to fully edit in Logic. So the tracking is not a real concern. Very, very coooool. When I show people what I have done with Logic and the Brian Moore guitar, they are astounded.

Called a couple of times for modification questions. Prompt responses and pleasant to deal with.

Overall Rating : 10
I have been playing for about 25 years and am very thankful to the LORD to be able to have access to this great technology.
It's amazing for guitar players who really enjoy composing. The tools that are available, to help do all aspects of a composition.
If it was stolen or lost I would definitely buy another if something better did not come out.
Again, the Brian Moore with the Roland GI-20 and Logic Pro 7 is an awesome fit. If you are a versatile guitarist who likes to compose for other parts, this is a must check out.
