Melville OOO guitar
$7,900
Chris Melville is considered to one of the finest Luthiers in Australia. His guitars are played by such Luminaries as Tony McManus, Tommy Emanuel and Karin Schaupp.
This is his OOO model which was made in December 2012. It features a German spruce top and an Indian Rosewood back and sides, mahogany neck and Ebony fret board. The tuners are Gotoh 510. The rosette and signature on the headstock are New Zealand Paua shells. It has had minimal use and is in near mint condition.
The guitar has a 1 3/4 width neck similar to the Tony McManus guitars and so it’s set up for finger style playing but is suitable for a wide range of musical styles.it handles blue grass flat picking ,jazz chord melodies and even some classical pieces with no problem.
The craftsmanship and build quality of this instrument is simply phenomenal. If you don’t know much about him it’s worth looking at the website.
The starting price for a standard Melville guitar was $10,500, however on a Japanese site called Dolphin guitars this same model is selling for $14,000.
The guitar produces a rich deep tone with harmonic complexity . Its clean balanced tonal character and exceptional projection make it an outstanding instrument on every level.
I had a K &K pick up installed. It sounds amazing through an amp or PA.
It comes in a Presto case which was made in WA
The guitar is in Port Melbourne. You are welcome to have a test play .
I will ship the guitar to anywhere in Australia at the buyers expense.
I am not interested in trades
