Duncan P-90s Neck and Middle
Melancon Hot T Bridge pickup
Melancon Fixed Bridge
Maple Neck and Fretboard
60's C
10" Radius
1.65" Nut

That's absolutely hideous.

Hopefully it sounds good

Well, crawfish is my favorite food, and I'll bet that guitar sounds awesome, so it's all good.

I have another coming - a cajun gentleman with the same cosmetic specs. It will also be the next serial number in line, so it will be the T's "twin," of sorts.

Yes, the pickup configuration is a bit busy, but with the studio package and the ability to run the pickups series or parallel the guitar will have 18 different tones to choose from.

Plus, it's a Mel and should be a phenomenal player.
