Maybury Artist - Nathan Melhuish

Nathan Melhuish is the lead guitarist for “The Ariston” a rising force in London’s indie alt-rock scene.

His journey began at age seven with a guitar passed down from his grandfather, sparking a lifelong pursuit of tone, expression, and sound that tells a story.

After years of cutting his teeth in cover bands, Nathan joined The Ariston in autumn 2024, drawn to their distinct blend of indie energy and alt-rock edge. It was through the band that he discovered Maybury Guitars and something clicked.

Inspired by the design, detail, and feel of Maybury builds, Nathan commissioned a custom piece: a 24-fret Cholla with a striking blue fade finish and a one-of-a-kind sandwiched wood body. Collaborating closely with Maybury’s luthier Jason Snelling throughout the build, the result is a guitar that’s as expressive as Nathan’s playing.

“This build is truly special. The level of craftsmanship in this guitar is unlike anything I've had my hands on before. I was so excited to play it, I took it on stage before the finish had even cured.”

Now working with Jamie Brown head producer at JBJ Studios London (known for his work with The 1975 and Primal Scream) The Ariston are moving into their next chapter. Backed by Right Track Records, a division of Universal Music Group, their latest singles are just the beginning.
