Sound Pure's Take

Gerard Melancon is in the business of making one-of-a-kind boutique guitars that look, feel, and sound like nothing else. This stunning spalted maple top features the beautifully sprawling black line figure which makes this instrument completely unique. Aside from its sophisticated looks, Gerard's fretwork is impeccable and the neck feels as smooth as butter. The addition of the Duncan P-90s gives this guitar an incredibly well-balanced tone which can range from fat and creamy to a gnarly bite. Call or email Sound Pure's guitar department for more information!

From Melancon Guitars

The P-90 Artist is for the player looking for the hottest single coil tone that does not compromise high or low frequency response. This model is configured with specially designed P-90 Stacks in the neck and bridge positions. These pickups deliver that fat, punchy tone without the hum! To further enhance this "Tone Machine," we wire in a 3-way mini toggle that allows for series, parallel and split wiring. A select mahogany body and neck are matched with one of our premium flame, quilt or burl maple tops. This combination ensures plenty of warmth in the lower mid-range, balanced by nice sparkle on the high end. The P-90 Artist model is offered in the single cut-away body only with a fixed bridge (strings through the body) and rosewood fingerboard. It is available in chrome or gold hardware in any of our transparent colors.
