Gibson's Les Paul Melody Maker is one of the most cherished instruments of all time. This one is BRAND NEW old stock, and with its solid Mahogany body, set Mahogany neck and all vintage-style appointments, remains the best value-for-money, major brand electric guitar in the world. (We've mentioned it before, but Jimi Hendrix played a Melody Maker before moving on to Stratocasters and a Flying V, and Joan Jett even has her own Melody Maker signature model! Paul Westerberg, John Lee Hooker, Nina Gordon of Veruca Salt and Rory Gallagher are just a small sample from a very long list of famous Melody Maker players)
Features
In satin Ebony finish, with a scratchplate in custom Cream, your new Melody Maker features a full 24¾" scale, 22-fret Rosewood board with inlaid dot markers; chrome-plated wraparound tailpiece, (intonation & height adjustable); and a vintage-voiced, high output, singlecoil pickup, with a sweet top-end – plus real bite when you want it – and awesome sustain.
Vintage-style all the way
The neck is hand-finished , with a rounded fifties profile. The Volume & Tone knobs are vintage-style top-hats; the scratchplate is vintage-style custom Cream; tuners are vintage-style Kluson Deluxe, with vintage-style aged White buttons. It's vintage-style all the way. The nut is Corian, the truss-rod is fully adjustable, and the sexy Ebony matt finish is genuine satin-nitro – thin enough to allow the Mahogany grain to show through, and also thin enough to allow the timber's natural harmonics to shine through.
Brand new old stock
Part of a recent trade with a fellow dealer in the US, the guitar is BRAND NEW old stock, (built on January 4, 2007, at Gibson's Nashville plant), and has only been removed from its case for photos and inspection. 100% ready to plug in and go to work, join Jimi, Joan, John Lee and the other famous Melody Maker names, with one of the truly great rock and blues axes!
