Gibson Melody Maker 1966
Our users rate Reverb
Originally equipped with a single simple bridge pickup, but heavily modified over the years. Currently equipped with a P90 (brand unknown) in the neck position and a Duesenberg Grand Vintage humbucker installed in 2024 by my luthier in the bridge position, reminiscent of the configuration of Duesenberg Starplayer guitars.
No visible head crack, but the guitar has been refinished during its 60 years of service, so it's difficult to say for sure.
Very average cosmetic condition, hence the sale price (see photos):
- screws on the top, probably remnants of a Maestro or ABR bridge
- hole on the side for a jack socket
That said, it is perfectly set up with low action (10/46 string gauge), extremely resonant and very light (2.8 kg).
