Cajun Gentleman

A new model for Melancon, this tone machine brings a blend of classic looks and sound with modern updates. The ability to blend tones from each pickup, combined with the Master Volume control in easy reach while playing, offers the artist a high degree of flexibility without interfering with the creative flow!

Classic Artist

A stunning pearloid pickguard is standard on every Classic Artist. The addition of a pickguard actually contributes to the complexities of overtones, while maintaining a "classic" sense of visual balance. All of our options for neck, pickup configurations, switching and bridge options are available on the Classic Artist. Our relentless attention to detail ensures that each guitar we build will stand the test of time.

Classic Artist T

The Classic Artist T is designed for the player who prefers single cut-away styling but has a need for versatility. This model is available in either S-S-H or S-S-T bridge configurations (with a fixed bridge or tremolo). We also offer our Studio Package option on the Classic Artist models. This option in H-S-H pickup configuration (with special wiring), delivers a vast array of tones-all at the flick of a switch! A tummy-cut and forearm contour make this guitar about as comfortable as it gets.

Custom Artist

The Custom Artist is an arsenal of advanced guitar improvements. A vast array of pickups and configurations are available, along with several 5-way switching options that greatly increase the tonal versatility of this awesome instrument. The addition of quality tremolo and locking tuners allows much greater tuning stability. Our "comfort contoured body and heel" make the Custom Artist so comfortable you won’t want to put it down. This is without a doubt a contemporary musician’s tool that is truly inspiring to play.

Custom Artist T

Some pieces of wood are too beautiful to cover with a pickguard! These extraordinary hand selected pieces are used on our custom models. The Custom Artist T is our version of the "quintessential single cut-away guitar." A perfect blend of visual appeal, playability, and tone, turns the Custom Artist T into a work of art.

P-90 Artist

The P-90 Artist is for the player looking for the hottest single coil tone that doesn’t compromise high or low frequency response. This model is configured with Seymour Duncan P-90 Stacks in the neck and bridge positions. These pickups deliver that fat, punchy tone with no hum! To further enhance this "Tone Machine," we wire in a 3-way mini toggle that allows for series, parallel and split wiring. A select mahogany body and neck are matched with one of our premium flame, quilt or burl maple tops. This combination ensures plenty of warmth in the lower mid-range, balanced by a nice sparkle on the high end. This model is only offered in the single cut-away body with a fixed bridge (strings through the body) and a rosewood fingerboard. It is available with chrome, gold, or black hardware in any of our transparent colors.

Pro Artist

With no maple top, the Pro Artist is aimed at the truly vintage connoisseur. Lightweight swamp ash or alder are the woods of choice to duplicate the bell-like tone and bite that this style guitar is famous for. We started with a traditional idea and brought it into the new millennium. From the expertly shaped and polished frets to total RF Shielding, this instrument exceeds the standards of vintage pieces, while maintaining the soul and "broken-in" feel of yesteryear.

Pro Artist T

The tone of a single cut-away swamp ash guitar with a maple neck probably needs no introduction. Snap! Pop! Here chicky! Get the picture? We have incorporated all of the tweaks from Bakersfield to Nashville into the Pro Artist T. It’s like a ’57 Chevy with power steering and brakes!
