2001 Melancon Classic Artist Stratocaster in Vintage Burst

  Melancon Classic Artist Stratocaster with flame Maple top on a  mahogany body. 

Indian Rosewood fingerboard on flamey maple neck. 

Two single coil Bare Knuckle Apache pickups and a splittable Haussel Vin+ in the bridge.

Gold hardware, locking tuners.  I swapped out the original gold metal barrel knobs for white ones, but the gold ones are included in the case.

Nut Size: 1.6875″, Fretboard Radius: 12″, bone nut.

Hand made by Gerard Melancon in Louisiana with amazing skill and attention to detail (even the trem cover is beautifully recessed into the body).  The neck joint is a joy.

In lightly used excellent condition, just a few small inconsequential dings.

Originally had black pickup covers and those are in the case too.  I can even leave in the case the original black covered Bare Knuckle Riff Raff pickup that was installed in the bridge when I got this (or take out the white Haussell, re-install the Riff Raff and sell the Mel for less than £1100 - maybe for £1000).  There are a couple of errant screw holes under the cover where, I guess, someone once installed a different cover.  

The G&G hardcase is in very good condition but the springs in the catches are broken.  They close, but do not spring open.

It is very lovely but it is the only one of my three electrics that I can sell (the other two have been with me too long)
