Review on Melbert Lap Steel Guitar

[Courtney Beaucage]

I spent a lot of time researching where to buy a lap steel, 6 or 8 strings, which tuning and so on. I am beyond happy that I did my homework. Melbert Guitars did not disappoint!! I not only own a lap steel, I own a custom lap steel. The workmanship is very high quality and the builder has a wealth of knowledge to share. Hands down the best customer service I have ever experienced. Thank you Bob! One happy lap steel owner over here. It's absolutely beautiful and sounds amazing. It's above and beyond my expectations.

I think I can write without fear of contradiction that the world we buy things from today is impersonal at every level. Amazon, Walmart, etc., etc. thrive on the logic that while there is no personal service, the price will make up for it.

It's refreshing to run across people like Bob, Todd Clinesmith and other makers who visit this site.

There are still builders out there who provide a quality product, for a fair price with substantive backup support - and highly personalized service.

Bob Allen is in that group.

Congratulations on your new guitar.

I purchased a six string Melbert in May 2017 and have been totally happy with it.

It was a pleasure working with Robert and he accommodated some customization requests with no problem.

He also had an extra George L pickup from a previous order and offered that at no extra charge.
