Here we have a cool vintage Melody Maker from Gibson! This 1964 model is a double cutaway variant with a single pickup and wrap around tailpiece.

Other specs include a mahogany body, mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard and dot inlays. It has the original Kluson strip tuners with white buttons, all original knobs, and all original electronics dating this to the middle of 1964.

The guitar is in good condition with lots of naturally checking throughout.

This one weighs in right 6lbs. The neck measures .790 to 1.010 at the 1st and 12th. It has a medium C neck profile down low that fills out into a larger rounded C up near the neck joint. The guitar is fun to play with a warm, mellow mahogany tone and good sound movement throughout the body. The frets show almost no wear at all. Includes a Gibson branded hardshell case but it is not the original one to this guitar.

Overall a neat and accessible vintage instrument!
