I’ve been playing this Melancon Custom Artist T (a Telecaster-inspired guitar) since 2019, and it’s one of my most-played instruments. I just love it. When I ordered this guitar, I was going for a modern vibe—so a roasted maple neck and stainless steel frets were two must-haves on my list. Now, six years later, I’m still thrilled with those choices, and in this video, I explain why.

Honestly, I find myself somewhere in between when it comes to old-school versus contemporary guitar design. I like somewhat traditional-looking guitars, but I love the stability and consistency that these innovations bring to the guitar world.
But what about you—are you Team Modern or Team Vintage?
