Made by Keiyo pickups in Japan. Similar to Gibson 490s. Nickel (I think? That's what it says on the Keiyo web site anyway) covers."

I like the rounded corners.......more PAF like than a lot of modern covers.

In this blog, it is written that the pickup is made by Yuta, who is good friends with Mr. Momose, who is a master craftsman of Headway guitars.

In fact, Momose's electric guitars released by Divisor still carry Yuta pickups Yuta is not the company name, but the personal name of the builder of Keiyo.

Wow! That is huge. Thank you so much for clarifying that!

Good evening. I have too much free time today, so I would like to introduce my musical instrument. However, I am not a very good listener, so I may not be able to write exactly what I am saying, but I will not accept any objections. I wanted to see you do something like this once. Let's go quickly.



The guitar I'm currently using live is a brand called Momose. Blue guy. Impulse buy at the January sale last year. I think it was about 130,000 after bargaining... Momose seems to be a subsidiary of Divisor, if I remember correctly. First of all, it's not a brand like fender, it's a brand that no one seems to own, so that alone is 30. That's the point. Quite expensive. If there is a guitar nearby, I would like to post detailed pictures, but I don't have it right now, so I will upload it in detail next time.

First, let's look at the head. The Momose logo is written in cursive, and the head is small and cute! It seems that this momose is supervised by a person named Momose. Momose seems like a cute girl.

Next is the neck and fingerboard. Maple of course. After all, maple is more responsive and feels good to play. I thought a Rose Strat would be fine, but I have a Rose Strat so I chose this one.

Then body. Alder. And the color is a dark blue like lake placid blue. I honestly didn't like it at first, but now I like it because it looks good on stage.



Look! Isn't this **** cool? It looks great especially when paired with Soma's red guitar!

As for the pickup, I use a YUTA pickup. It seems to be made by “Yuta” who is good friends with Mr. Momose, so this is also unique. The compatibility is outstanding.

Next, I would like to go to the sound, but there is no capacity, so in the next blog.

The sellers of this auction seem to know Keiyo well.

According to the seller, Keiyo has already gone out of business at this time.

Keiyo had developed guitar pickups for most of the famous guitar brands in the Japan, such as Yamaha, ESP, Aria, Greco, and Momose.

It is confirmed that there was a time when it was commercialized in a box as "YUTA by Keiyo".

My ES196 pickup may also be valuable in that case.

Edit: I guess the one I posted is a diffferent link to the same auction with no description.,

Keiyo-Yuta Uta PU Assy
High Power
Bacchus momose

View details of this product
Thank you for viewing.

It is a famous Keiyo-Yuta PU assembly that was removed from the Bacchus Strat model and installed in Momose's guitar. Operation has been confirmed. The center PU is reverse-wound and reverse-magnetized. The 5-point selector is made by USA and CRL. For a commercially available product, the lines are carefully handled, and I get the impression that it is quite different from the products of major manufacturers. Currently, the output line is a shielded line. Please change the sound to your liking. When I matched it with my Fender Japan body, one screw hole did not match. I do not know the fit of other bodies. Continuity has been checked with a tester, and it is a fairly high power model with 6.65k, 6.79k, and 8.13k from the neck side. Since it is used, there are scratches, dirt, and rust.

As far as I can see from the photo,
the second floor seems to be the sales office of ”France Bed”, right?
