Well I'm down to the last Melobro body and several guys looked at it in the rough as a DIY and thought it was beyond them so I did the hard technical stuff on it, pre-built it and it's in primer headed for paint but I thought I'd offer it as a DIY to finish since a lot of players are doing that to save $.
If I finish it myself it will be in Black with a blue tint like this for $1,650
Or you can get it in Primer with all the parts for $895
Beard Cone and 14 spider, maple with ebony capped saddles, bone nut - all pre slotted, Grover keys, all the good stuffl

Same sort of thing and pricing on a Tel-O-Bar in the works,it's faster to get me direct on the melobarted@gmail.com email, I check the forum messages and posts usually at the end of the day.
My wife and I are looking at downsizing which means no more shop and we are out of the Melobro parts so that is the last one unless someone buys the molds and starts from scratch from the molds.
Primer and finished pictures...The finished shot is one I did last year with a 10 string pickup and rosewood fretboard you can see the one in my profile shows Smithcurry standing with a black Tel-O-Bar, The one I'm building now is a Fender Squire with the Melobar Ratt componants on the Melobar neck (around a $1,000 finished or you can get the primer guitar for $675)
I'm working on them so the pricing is for the next couple of days ((01/10/14 now through 01/14/14)) and will go up as I put more labor into them and get them finished.
If you're into building it's the cheapest you'll get one for is why I'm offering it, fun stuff.

Got asked for more photos of the Tel-O-bar being played and close-ups so some shots I could dig up - it plays incredibly comfortably and natural on stage...I think one of the biggest compliments I got was two players using it on stage the very day they got it.

and approaching the very last ones...I still think they're the coolest guitar I ever played  The one pictured is now black with blue pearl tint; a couple weeks from polish and assembly.
