""Melody Maker" Gibsons' Best Kept Secret"

Feature:
The amazing sound makes up for any lack of features. Tuners are very stable. Intonation perfect out of the box. The finish has a satin feel that makes you smile while you're playing.

Quality:
Solid Guitar. No mechanical or cosmetic imperfections.

Value:
The best Quality, and Sound, at a bargain Price.

Desirability:
A guitar that is simple and magnificent. I didn't think that was possible.

Sound:
Sounds as good as my Gibson Classic "57's in my Epiphone Studio.

Ease of Use:
The neck feels great even for my small fingers.

Support:
Don't need it.

Overall:
It's hard to describe "The sound", "The Feel" of a fine musical Instrument. It's GOOD.

About This Product!
Description
From Our Catalog
News
Resurrecting one of the most popular guitars in Gibson's history, the Melody Maker is an accurate, affordable recreation of the original Melody Makers of the late 1950s. Originally introduced as a student model, much like the Les Paul Junior, the Melody Maker became a player's favorite for its light weight, comfortable neck, and great tone. Today's Melody Maker is no exception. With a period-correct pickguard housing a special design singlecoil pickup, a vintage-style wraparound tailpiece, rounded neck profile, and slim, light body, the Melody Maker is an unbelievable value for players of all ages, styles, and skill levels.
