miragejake Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 (edited) These are getting more rare. I've owned a bunch of Gerard's guitars and they're always damn good...this is likely the best out of the 7 or 8 I've owned. RIP Gerard. Melancon Custom Artist T Custom in Faded Blue Jean Finish! I'm already kicking myself for listing this...but GAS is a powerful condition to deal with. It's mint / nearly unplayed condition. Here's specs. I'm trying to move it fast to make a move on a vintage piece...$2300 net to me. I'll take paypal or venmo. Fees are OK if you cover them...shipping in CONUS is fine on you're dime. I'm in the Tampa, FL area. Here's pics and a video of this actual guitar from when it was sold new. Custom Artist T #1757 Faded Blue Jean Mahogany / Quilted Maple Body with Tone Chambers and Scraped Binding Mapleck / Madagascar Rosewood Fingerboard Satin Finish on Neck....it's super light and feels like a natural finish almost Abalone Dots Matching Headstock Veneer & Color +.030" Oversized Medium Taper Neck 12" Fingerboard Radius 1.6875" Nut Width Stainless Steel Medium Fret Wire Freshly Setup w/ D'adarrio 9.5 to 44's Chrome Hardware Melancon Two-Post Vintage Tremolo...it's decked, but still goes down Melancon PAFN in Neck Melancon PAFB in Bridge Master Volume Master Tone 3 Way Mini Toggle - (up) Parallel / (mid) Split /(down) Series G&G OHSC which is also in excellent condition.

I know you've have or probably have had some Mel's in the past...this one is a good one! I love them, but just have a lucky opportunity on a vintage piece.

Been eyeballin' Melancons last couple years, then the Tally's show up. But, as mentioned, GAS is a powerful condition. My wallet's starting to hurt already just looking at it!

Every thing about it sounds like it would fit me perfectly.....If I did not have multiple things that hit the same parameters....Don't get me started! I need to lighten up by several more pricey things before acquiring another. 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travis Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 (edited) I just now got around to watching the video you posted with your ad. I used to go into that shop a lot when I was in St Louis. They always carried some nice gear and that looks to be no different. GLWTS Edited December 2, 2022 by Travis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
