I have been a very happy player of one of John Mello’s wonderful guitars. I first visited John in 2004 at his shop in Kensington. My wife and mother and father in law came with me. We all enjoyed John’s warm hospitality. Following the visit we listened for years to the CDs he gave us of musicians playing his guitars. I went back a couple of times and remained in touch casually. My terrific friend and guitar teacher Jon Harris had a party and I saw John. One day in 2017 I was on Spring Break. For some reason I thought to go visit John. I called him, drove over, tried a guitar, fell in love, and bought it. Dear John, thank you.
