NAMM Floor Zero Hour: Custom Shop Wizardry Unleashed.
Picture the Moser Custom Shop luthiers working feverishly as NAMM 2025 approached, knowing this Basilisk would represent everything their reputation stands for under the harshest spotlight in the guitar industry. Serial number NAMM 25 01 tells the whole story - this wasn't just another custom order; this was their statement piece designed to stop traffic on the convention floor.
Those figured black limba wings with ebony stringers create visual drama that shifts and flows under exhibition lighting, while the bookmatched center cap provides symmetrical perfection that reveals itself gradually as your eyes adjust to the transparent BlackBurst finish. The Moser crew understands that NAMM guitars need to photograph beautifully, but more importantly, they need to back up their visual impact with serious performance capability.
That Gabon ebony fretboard topped with mother of pearl large sculpted diamond inlays isn't just premium materials thrown together for maximum cost - these components work together to create playing surfaces that feel silky smooth under your fingers while providing visual landmarks during complex passages. The two-piece maple neck with rounded C profile strikes that perfect balance between substantial feel and comfortable reach.
The electronics setup tells you everything about this guitar's personality: Seymour Duncan Super Distortion in the neck position provides creamy warmth with enough output to drive any amp into singing sustain, while that X2N bridge pickup delivers face-melting aggression that could wake the dead. Those push-pull pots add coil-splitting versatility alongside phase switching options that double your tonal possibilities without cluttering the control layout.
The Floyd Rose Original tremolo keeps everything mechanically bulletproof during aggressive dive-bombing sessions, while those Grover Mini tuners provide rock-solid tuning stability in a compact footprint that maintains the instrument's sleek aesthetic.
This represents custom shop craftsmanship at its absolute peak, designed specifically to prove that handbuilt instruments can still shock seasoned players into speechless admiration.
