MELOGUITARS | AM1
Josep Melo’s family background allows him to combine intellectual work with craftsmanship. From a very early age he was obsessed with making guitars: as he grew older they went everywhere with him and he began to build up a collection. Apart from playing them he also studied their form, their design, their sound, the wood they were made from… The collection grew and so did his knowledge which was clearly contributed to by his training as a designer, and this afforded him a rigour in his work and in his thinking.

The proportions and geometry of this traditionally x-braced guitar are the result of having applied physical acoustic principles to the design in order to obtain the greatest harmonic resonance. This design also adds clarity and definition to the characteristically powerful sound of the flattop guitar. The selection of tonewoods for the back and sides provides further options in customizing the sound to the guitarists needs.
