MELOGUITARS | JM2
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.

JM2

SPECIAL

 

The combination of JM2’s 17 inch body and the perfectly arched top and back, result in a guitar of exceptional balance. Like the JM1, the 24 fret neck, 16 of which are clear of the body, allow the player to hit even the highest notes with great ease. The shape and position of the soundholes, as well as the depth of the body, are variable which allow for a huge variety of tonal possibilities. A floating pickup or top mounted humbucker with volume and tone controls are available as options.
