I'm selling my one-of-a-kind Gibson Melody Maker Reissue. This
single-pickup version was first offered in 2007 at a budget price of
$599. Many folks (including myself) jumped on the chance to buy a
USA-made guitar for such a low price. While the quality of the base
guitar is very good, I thought the pickup was anemic and way too
brittle sounding to be useful, so the folks at Intown Guitars in
Atlanta replaced it with an
amazing-sounding Lindy Fralin Split-Rail. They also filed the frets,
lowered the action and added a bone nut.
After the work
was done it played and sounded great so I decided to send it off to my friends at Rowyco Kustom Guitar Finishes and had
the standard flat-white paint job stripped off in favor of the classic
Pelham Blue Metallic finish you see here.
The rest of the parts are
all original Gibson USA. You won't see or hear another Melody Maker
like this one. I'll ship it inside a brand new, heavily padded
genuine Gibson USA gig bag. I also have the original (and
collectable) orange Gibson Melody Maker box it was sold in and I'll
include that as well.
