Up for sale is a 1965 Gibson Melody Maker, 100% original and full of vintage character.

This guitar has the typical honest wear you’d expect from a well-loved 1960s Gibson, giving it a great broken-in feel without taking away from its vibe or playability. The frets show only light wear on the first few frets, and it still plays great.

Plug this one into a big tube amp and it absolutely kills. It has that raw, lively, vintage Gibson sound that Melody Makers are loved for — lightweight, resonant, and way bigger sounding than you’d expect.

The original case is included. The case is a bit beat up, but it does come with the guitar and adds to the vintage package.

A killer, all-original 1965 Gibson Melody Maker with tons of vibe, great feel, and huge tone through the right amp. 

Comes with original (beat up) case as shown. (312)

Weight: 5lbs 14oz. | Nut: W 1.58 H .82 12th: W 2.00 H 1.03

I specialize in selling pre-owned guitars, which typically show signs of regular use. My commitment to quality is unwavering, and I ensure that any guitar I offer for sale is free from problems, unless explicitly mentioned. With a history of selling guitars dating back to the 1980s, I pride myself on selecting only the finest instruments.

It's important to understand that our shipping fees encompass more than just the cost of the box. I guarantee professional packaging using UPS-approved materials to safeguard your purchase. This typically includes new, heavy-duty boxes rated at 275lbs, 3-inch wide brown fiberglass reinforced tape, ensuring the guitar is well-protected. Additionally, every guitar shipped is fully insured for its sale price.

The guitars are set up according to my personal preferences (Medium Height), and I strictly avoid guitars with neck issues. However, guitar setup is highly subjective, and it is advisable to have it adjusted by a trusted local technician who understands your specific playstyle and preferences.
