2008 Gibson Melody Maker

$875.00

2008 Gibson Melody Maker w/ Original Hardshell Case.

Gibson’s “Golden Era” – the late 1950s and early 1960s – is best known for the emergence of the company’s iconic Les Paul Standard. But the Les Paul wasn’t the company’s best-selling guitar during this historic period. That title belongs to the legendary Melody Maker. Today’s Melody Maker is a loving tribute to the style and spirit of the 1959 edition of that beloved guitar. It remains one of Gibson’s most popular models.

Neck: ’50s round profile mahogany neck with cream side dots. Rosewood fingerboard with mother of pearl dot inlays. Gibson Deluxe tuners.

Body: Single cutaway, solid mahogany body finished in vintage sunburst. Wrap-around bridge & single-ply, black pickguard.

Pickup: Gibson’s special-design single coil pickup – 4.55K ohms. A stellar combination of high output and sweet treble response, this multi-ceramic magnet pickup provides plenty of punchy bite when needed, as well as incredible sustain and cutting power. Master volume & tone controls with “top hat” knobs.
