Badtux the Snarky Penguin has a question, what about those future budgets, and Crooks & Liars make some good points...
I always wanted a Melobar guitar...
Now, for those not obsessed with weird and wonderful guitar trivia, the Melobar folks catered to a tiny niche market of folks who wanted a lap steel they could play standing up...
Some kind of cool, is it not? Sort of a Gibson Explorer colliding with a Ricky lap steel...
The problem with Melobars was they were way out of my price range and I could never justify spending that kind of serious money (the guitar above went for over a thousand dollars back in the early 80's) and as it is a serious collectable as only a handful were made... Well, like the man said when speaking of yachts, if you have to ask you can't afford it.
Now, here is a pretty cool guitar of the same ilk...
It's a Peavey, it sounds awesome, and it is very affordable. What's not to like!
Listening to Redbone
So it goes...
