Been playing this Melbert for six months now, and I give Bob and Melbert steel guitars a 5 star rating. I had specific features I wanted, and Bob made it happen.
Thanks again!
Steve

That's a nice looking guitar there Steven. Curious as to what tunings you're using on it. And what pickups are on there? Thanks for the eye candy.

Nice looking steel! Have fun with that, Steven. What kind of custom mods did you have done?

Thanks fellas, and thanks Bob!
I first contacted Bob with ‘my list:
Double neck
24.5 scale
3/8 string spacing at bridge and nut
Raised back neck
Blue color
Tunings: Open D on front neck, A6th for rear neck, both strung with the gauges that I use.
—————————
Bob gave me a price, and we ‘shook hands’. He did a great job of keeping me posted throughout the build.
Also, the Steeltronics pickups are amazing. It’s the first steel I’ve had that I haven’t had to try and dial in the tone. These are the best.
Thanks again!
Steve
