I wanted a guitar with P-90's but wasn't sure which guitar would suit me best so I went to a local guitar center tried out a bunch 8 guitars I think and last but not least was a melody maker with a single p-90 and I fell in love!!! So I decided to go home and order the 120th Anniversary Gibson LP melody maker for the price I'm not sure you will find a better sounding guitar!! This thing sounds great out of my vox AC30cc2 for cleans sounds amazing out of my bogner ecstacy classic for an amazing rock tone even sounds good out of my mark V in high gain spectrum!! Very versitile this thing had mojo right out the box.So if your looking for a great guitar for under 600 bucks look no further can't say anything bad about this guitar even the TV yellow finish was really nice!

This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful.
Decided on this guitar cause I dig the P90'S and felt an American made LP for under $500 is a good deal. Went with the yellow which is a deep mustard color and it looks sweet. Looks like they put some effort into building it. The tuners are my only concern. The G seems to go out of tune often, but might just be setup issue. Worse case scenario I replace the tuners. P90's are sweet. Guitar sounds great thru my fender deluxe reverb and VoX AC15. The neck was not straight, but slight adjustment fixed that. Neck feels nice and plays fast. Just as nice as my 2014 LP Studio which I also love.
Sound
Rocks!
Quality
Surprisingly well made. Tuners seem low quality, but rest of guitar is sweet.
Value
Absolutely. Gonna beat the heck out of this thing....Under $500 for this beauty is ridiculous

Guitar is great. The only issue I had was there was a little bit of fret buzz at the 3rd fret on the low E string. I just had it set up now this guitar just howls those p90 pickups are awesome. This guitar will be a collectors item one day with the 120th anniversary inlay. Thanks zzounds

The 2014 Gibson Melody Maker has a great sound with the p-90 pups and the wine red satin is nice. The 50's neck profile fits nicely and is easy to play. The zZounds shopping experience was great as well. I recommend this guitar for any styles but I like to be LOUD.

"Minimalist's Les Paul"

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I wanted this kind of Les Paul for a long time: satin nitro finish, rosewood fretboard, P-90 pickups, and LP traditional headstock. Sounds great, and looks cool too. Purchased Manhattan Midnight and TV Yellow from zZounds. I love this 2014 Melody Maker and you will love it too!

I think it is the best LP among 2014 models. Love satin finish, light weight, and its pickups. You will love it too!
