Video explains what is happening on the last Melobars
Great article on the Mosrite Melobar model in the February issue of Vintage Guitar.
Always wanting to make sure the history is correct I do want to point out that Jimmy Page had not called us back in the 80's for "playing tips" but because he wanted an effects box that Brian Jones had used with his Mosrite Melobar on a movie track for a unique sound; we talk about it in Fun Melobar Facts.
The caption between the Mosrite and Rosac are backwards, the Rosac model is on the right. What is pictured here is a Mosrite Melobar.
The little town we built them in during the 80's was Weiser...not Weister, and Melobar moved to the Sweet Idaho Shop in 1991 after Dad had died. Otherwise it was a very good recount of Melobar's Roots.
the Author Willie Moseley emailed me that; When I interviewed Jorma Kaukonen, he was appreciative of the opportunity to discuss his experience with Melobar, telling me "Thanks for the trip down memory lane."
We all thank you for that trip down memory lane Willie!!
Special tribute to Rusty Young, the first Steel'er to put Melobar on stage and break the Rock barrier with it in his great book.
He nick named his Melobar the Bear and really did some wild stage moves with it, I think he still is miles ahead of what the world doesn't realize Steel can do in cross over country rock.
Thank you Rusty, RIP
