I've had more humbucker guitars, but some years back, I added several single coils. Each has a different sound, and a different feel. I got good deals on 3 of them, and the Melancon was one of those guitars that I went 4 or 5 months thinking about buying until I decided the go for it.

Though I'd share some of my herd.

Whitey. This is a Frankenstrat. 2016 American body, MZ neck, Seymour Duncan SH 1,3,5 pups.

EDIT: The body is 2018. Just found the receipt.

This was my very first Strat. The original Fender pickups sucked. I put in these Duncans.

This is my favorite Tele. Stock except for the pickguard. My wife painted the pickguard on Whitey and the Tele. It doesn't show well in the pics, but it's gold hardware.

This gal is sweeter than honey! My Taylor 324ce. She looks like a plain Jane, but she's hot to go.

So you're saying the original poster is deceased?
Sad.

Yes. He and I knew each other at another forum for about 25 years. If you think some of the political sparring here has gotten a little prickly at times.... whoa nelly.... you ain't seen nothin. He and I used to get after it. We disagreed on a lot of issues - but I also knew he had a good heart and came by his convictions honestly.

He'd had another account/screenname here for years - but he couldn't remember what it was so created this newer one more recently.

Anyway..... very sad, indeed.

Well that's a bummer. I imagine he'd be buddies with jimistone right off. No idea on original screen name?
