1966 Gibson Melody Maker - Refinished w/ OHSC
For your consideration, the ultimate Player's Grade Melody Maker! It's no museum piece, but holy cow does it have all the right vibe and mojo!
The original finish (Pelham Blue, unfortunately) has been stripped and a natural satin finish has been added. It's a very thin finish that would be easy to re-do if you ever wanted to have this one painted. No headstock repairs or neck fractures on this one! Original Kluson tuners, original nut, and the truss rod works in both directions. Original frets have been recently leveled and crowned and have plenty of life left. The neck is straight and the neck joint with the body is still solid, The guitar has no extra routes under the replica pickguard. The pickup is a Curtis Novak MM90 - a P-90 shoved inside a Melody Maker sized pickup. It sounds killer.....more Les Paul Junior-ish than the traditional Melody Maker sound. The controls are a MojoTone wiring harness with pots and tone cap. All nice stuff that sounds great. The rear control cavity cover is not original, and someone has already installed a sweet Dale Earnhardt sticker so you won't have to. The original wrap-tail and Maestro Tremolo bridge work great! This one plays fantastic and feels great in the hands!
Nut Width: 1-9/16"
Weight: 6lbs 1oz.
The original case is included, and in great shape!
