1963 Gibson Melody Maker D 

  • Vintage 1963 Gibson Melody Maker D (Two-Pickup) - Sunburst with Brazilian Rosewood Fretboard

Description 

Up for sale is a fantastic and highly resonant 1963 Gibson Melody Maker D in its original Sunburst finish. The "D" designation means this is the dual-pickup variant of Gibson's classic student-scale workhorse, offering a ton of snappy, articulate vintage single-coil tones that punch well above its historical class.

Featuring a lightweight mahogany double-cutaway body, a comfortable mahogany neck, and a stunning, dark Brazilian rosewood fretboard with dot inlays. It is completely featherlight, incredibly responsive, and an absolute joy to play.
