This guitar has been fully tested and is in good working order. It comes with its original case, which shows some writing on the side, adding to the instrument’s road-worn charm.

Despite its age, this Melody Maker plays well and sounds great, with the late ’50s Gibson mojo. It shows honest wear throughout like scratches, dings, chips, and finish checking on the body and neck. There is visible wear along both sides of the fretboard and on the headstock, all consistent with a well loved vintage instrument.

Specs include a mahogany body and neck, rosewood fretboard, and the classic wraparound bridge. Weighing in at 5.6 lbs, it’s lightweight, comfortable, and surprisingly powerful for its 3/4 size. Many players and collectors seek out late ’50s and early ’60s Gibsons for their unique feel and tone, and this little Melody Maker is no exception.
