Have a beautiful instrument from Gerard Melancon. I really do love the guitar and I play almost every day, but I am now caught up in the 'semi-hollow' bug and need to free up some funds. If this doesn't sell, I wouldn't be upset really.
Anyway, I customised this guitar from Gerard in November 2016, and it was finalised in January 2017. The build thread is here:
https://www.thegearpage.net/board/in...hread.1769346/
It features a black limba body, with tone chambers, a maple neck, rosewood fretboard, stainless steel medium-jumbo frets, 12" radius, and a C-shape neck depth ranging from .810 at the nut to 0.87 at the 12th fret.
Model here: http://melanconguitars.com/?s=1873
The neck is satin-finished and plays very effortlessly.
The pickups are also a thing of beauty: it's a H-S-H configuration, with a Melancon Vintage humbucker in the neck which is an Alnico 5 roughcast wound to PAF specs, a Melancon Single Coil in the middle position, and a Melancon Blues Wound humbucker in the bridge. There is a series-parallel-split coil toggle which allows you to wire the humbuckers in series or parallel or retain only one coil. Further, pull the tone knob - and you'll add the bridge pickup. Really, you can have 19 different sounds from one guitar!
It really can do it all, from the strat sounds to humbuckerish tones.
Asking SGD3,950.
