GIBSON C. ORIGINAL MELODY MAKER
This is a fabulous GIBSON ORIGINAL C. MELODY MAKER. OWNED FOR OVER 40 YEARS. Originally a one pickup guitar, modified and routed professionally with two FENDER custom shop '55 single coils and a 's DiMarzio hot humbuckers. Wired with master tone, master volume, and a strat style 5 way selector switch. This gives fabulous versatility for all the classic strat tones plus the awesome Gibson humbucker les paul/ s.g. sound st the bridge, or any combination. The frets are in great condition, really good guitar for a string bending blues man, with fantastic sustain. The bridge is a Badass bridge, with a silver USA dime glued to the top for added support and sustain, and the tuners were changed in the 70's for similar tuners but with metal buttons, now beautifully aged nickel. Strap buttons are locking nickel Dunlop. The scratchplate is the original one, knobs are old les paul standard. Don't know if the finish is original or not, it has been like this since I have owned it, with no sign of any other finish, but it could have been stripped and 're lacquered at some time in its distant past. Simply don't know. It has always been played, it is very light in weight and plays superbly, powerful with great tones. Never ever seen another one like it, and after 53 years it is an appreciating asset. Comes with a thick padded Gibson soft case. If you are into old guitars, this is the most playable and versatile I have ever owned (and that means over several thousand guitars) and will play anything from Cabaret to AC/DC covers!
