MELOGUITARS | AM3
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.

SPECIAL

 

Made with the smaller bodied steel string guitars of the past in mind, this instrument, despite its small size, has a surprisingly big sound and as such, it is able to share the stage with other larger size guitars. It has a bold, smooth low end with crisp, sweet highs, which makes this a perfectly balanced instrument. This tonal richness makes it ideally suited for fingerstyle playing, slide guitar and especially the blues.
