The Moose is a custom handcrafted electric guitar from Sweden, built for players who demand rich tone and exceptional comfort. Every detail reflects Gramel Guitars’ dedication to craftsmanship and sound quality.
What is The Moose?
The Moose is a recognizable M-style guitar with a twist. Instead of the old vibratos we’ve taken the liberty of redesigning them with a modern Schaller roller bridge and a smooth bigsby-like vibrato that gives you all the smooth action you’ll ever need. The design is also updated with two carbon fiber-rods inlay and finished off with locking tuners and stainless steel fretwire. The pickups have been carefully reproduced from studying the originals and been slimmed down in a more convenient and accessible humbucker-format. Rest assured however that the Moose handles so much more than the surf music it’s mainly associated with. Works great for everything from jazz to metal and everything in between due to the hotter, but yet spanky pickups. Put some drive on them and you got everything from a nice bluesy tone to raunchy garage rock ect.
Custom options
Since everything is made in-house here at Gramel Guitars you have access to a lot of variations on your very own “The Moose”. To get the inspiration flowing I’ve added a slideshow on the left to show some current and previous builds of the model. As far as pickups goes if you’d rather have something else than the traditional M-styled PU’s that’s completely fine as well. If you have any questions or if you’d like to order your very own “The Moose” don’t hesitate to reach out!
