Old soul, modern feel

The Deluxe Melanie Faye DC celebrates Melanie's storied rise in the landscape of modern guitar. Respected and praised by legends like John Mayer and Isaiah Sharkey, Melanie's ability to float across the fingerboard and craft infectious rhythms helped redefine the sound of neo-soul guitar playing. Her signature Deluxe DC is a recreation of the guitar that started it all for her, yet offers notable upgrades. Featuring deep cutaways for full fingerboard access and a set of Kent Armstrong 57 Icon humbuckers, the Melanie Faye DC promises warm, round mids with articulate highs. Premium appointments such as a rosewood fingerboard, Grover tuners, and Jescar fretwire achieve professional-grade quality, ideal for the guitarist who is graduating from budding to blossoming. Available only in a custom Metallic Surf Green and limited to only 50 pieces worldwide.

Melanie Faye

24-year-old guitarist, singer-songwriter and producer, Melanie Faye, first captured the world’s attention on Instagram, in 2017. Since then, she has won the favor of the world’s most celebrated guitarists as well as a loyal, diverse fanbase. Known for her unique approach to neo-soul, Melanie has helped define the resurgence of the genre.

Paying Homage

A recreation of Melanie’s first-ever D’Angelico, the Deluxe Melanie Faye DC is a 16-inch-wide double cutaway semi-hollow with dual humbuckers. A lightweight centerblock, slim C-shape neck, and medium-jumbo fretwire promise effortless playability for players of all stripes. Available only in a custom Metallic Surf Green.

Warm Modern Jazz Tones

Featuring Kent Armstrong 57 Icon humbuckers, Melanie’s signature model was designed to offer a warm, yet articulate jazz tone ideal for neo-soul. Whether playing fingerstyle or with a pick, players can expect the ideal balance of round, fat tone, as well as sparkling articulation. Coil-splitting push/pull tone knobs allow for single-coil sounds for added snap and spank.

Limited Edition

Limited to only 50 pieces worldwide and designed to be a lifelong instrument, the Deluxe Melanie Faye DC is available only while quantities last. A hand-signed Certificate of Authenticity is included with each guitar.
