25th Anniversary MELOGUITARS: Blackguard#

2018-11-29#

Throughout the twenty-five years of my work as a guitar maker I have received, on several occasions, the proposal to build guitars which were copies of other manufacturers’ models. I have always turned these requests down and advised those that asked me that it was better to own the original instruments.

To mark the twenty-fifth anniversary, I have reconsidered this issue and I have decided that, for the first time, without precedent and to celebrate this event, I will build a limited series of ten Blackguard Telecaster® and four prototypes.

The reason behind this decision is, firstly, my own devotion to this instrument, the first industrially-built electric guitar and my admiration for its creator, Clarence Leo Fender. The tonal quality of some of the examples form this period is legendary as well as its magnificent design. Moreover, I was born in 1952, at the height of its production, which runs from 1950 to 1954 with regard to the Blackguard model.

So, I have insisted in asking Tadeo Gomez, over several months, for his workshop apron to instill his knowledge and spirit of the time in me, to build for you, with the utmost rigor and musical success, these mythical Blackguard.

We report to all of you that the Chinese company “Musoo” has produced a copy of one of my guitars without any type of authorization.

The information that we have in these moments says that the copy is a very low quality guitar.

I communicate it to you to avoid confusions with my original guitars.

CUBIC Combo Amplifier

A new combo amplifier model will be released at Frankfurt Musikmesse 2009. This amplifier will answer the long time request of the musicians for a lightweight, portable high quality medium power all tube amplifier.

The amplifier is built around our high quality standards which include point to point wiring, solid spruce wood cabinet, special 10″ ALNico Weber speaker, inox chassis and premium grade passive components.

The beautiful CUBIC amp weights only 12 Kg and has a very small size (35x35x35 cm).

Versatility is the key: thanks to his 25 watt of pure tube tone this little amplifier will perform in ANY situation from rehearsal sessions to small stages and clubs. Furthermore an external speaker is provided so you can hang one or two of our CUBIC SPEAKER MODULE (CSM) and see what your 25 watts can do in medium and even more larger stages.

His single channel will fit ANY guitar from classic single coils to raw humbuckers and obviously will shine with Jazz archtops.

Our amplifier has a simple preamp with very complex tones that will help you to express your musical ideas easier. The BIG sound and WIDE projection of the little CUBIC amp will surprise you.

A 25 watt all tube small sized lightweight amplifier with this quality is a rare beast and if you are a serious busy musician you should give our amplifier a try, You will not be disappointed.
