I just purchased a melofonic resonator guitar with the pizza pan style resonator unit that rests on top of the guitar. Very cool vibe. I paid $120.00 for it and it came with the old stevens slide bar and original case which is very cool. The tuning pegs disintegrated in my hands yesterday while putting strings on it. Oh Well. Needs a little work, but a nice mantle piece.

I just recieved a melofonic hand me down guitar which my grandfather inherited from his buddy when he died in WWII somewhere in europe. His buddy always told him if I don't make it I want you to have my guitar. Well, obviously he didn't make it and my dad was moving and gave me the guitar when he moved. Gramps long passed away so now I'm trying to get it restored to original condition. Anyway, that makes the guitar at least as old as early 40's and I was just wondering how I could find out what model it is or if they still make this brand. Thanks for any info. Tim
Re: melofonic
I had a Melofonic in '94 - '95, when my National lust was still unconsummated. I asked Geo. Gruhn about it at a Detroit Vintage Guitar show (w/o the guitar in hand); he guessed that it had been Regal-made. Like all the guitars I've sold, I wish I'd kept the Mighty Melo "just to have it".
can someone tell me what the blue book value is on a melfonic in good con.Re: melofonic
