About this listing
2008 Gibson Melody Maker – Faded Sunburst – Upgraded – Access Hard Case IncludedUp for sale is my 2008 Gibson Melody Maker in Vintage Sunburst, made in the USA. This is a great-playing, American-made Gibson with a classic single-cutaway design, straightforward controls, and a couple of worthwhile upgrades.The Melody Maker is about as simple as a Gibson gets. No complicated electronics or unnecessary extras—just a no-frills design with plenty of character.This particular guitar has been upgraded with a DiMarzio Fast Track 2 pickup and Grover locking tuners. It also includes a quality Access hard case that fits the guitar perfectly.Upgrades & ModificationsDiMarzio DP182 Fast Track 2 PickupThe original pickup has been replaced with a DiMarzio Fast Track 2, a high-output, dual-blade humbucker designed to fit a single-coil-sized pickup position.The Fast Track 2 delivers a thicker, more aggressive sound than a traditional single-coil, with plenty of output for overdriven and distorted tones. It's particularly well suited for rock, punk, alternative, and heavier styles.Grover Locking TunersThe original tuning machines have been replaced with chrome Grover locking tuners. These make string changes easier and provide secure string retention.Original ComponentsThe original Gibson pickup and tuning machines are no longer in my possession and are not included in the sale.To my knowledge, these are the only modifications made to the guitar.SpecificationsBrand: GibsonModel: Melody MakerYear: 2008Finish: Vintage SunburstCountry of Manufacture: USASerial Number: 030380320Body: MahoganyNeck: Set mahoganyFingerboard: RosewoodScale Length: 24.75"Frets: 22Pickup: DiMarzio DP182 Fast Track 2 (aftermarket)Controls: Master volume and toneTuners: Chrome Grover locking tuners (aftermarket)Bridge: Chrome wraparound bridgePickguard: Black Melody Maker pickguardCase: Access hard case includedCondition – Very GoodThe guitar is in very good overall condition, especially considering its age.There are visible surface scratches on the pickguard from normal playing, but no major cosmetic damage is apparent.
