Melobar is back with an new website and a new line up of models. Check out our products page to see the new Rattler and and Diamondback (formerly the Teleratt). You can also see some prototypes for a new Viper model as well as experiments in 8 strings. We are also please to announce the return of the Melobro in just a few weeks. Almost two decades in development, this instrument redefines the tonal potentials of resonator guitars.

On the History page, you can find a synopsis of Melobar's history. In the coming weeks we will be adding lots of old photos and ads from the past as well as pdf files of some of the old Melobar songbooks. If you have one of the old Melobars with the musical notes represented in letters on the fretboard, you can now give the original tuning a try.

Our player section is in development. We want everyone to email us pictures of themselves playing their Melobar guitars. We like to think of Melobar owners as part of a big Melobar family, so this is the family album.

We are also developing an Introduction section for those who are new to slide playing, whether bottle neck slide, lap steel, or square neck resonator. Find out about easy it is to get started on slide and steel playing. You can also check out our Tunings page to see some of the different tunings players are using on their Melobars.

Our Contact page will let you know how to get in touch with us and our Links page points to some of our favorite slide and steel links on the web.

The webpage and our product lineup are both works in progess, so check back often for new updates.
