Melody Maker Special The Gibson Melody Maker Special is a two-pickup recreation of the original Melody Makers of the late 1950s. Originally introduced as a student model (much like the Les Paul Junior), the Melody Maker became a player's favorite for its light weight, comfortable neck, and great tone. This Melody Maker is no exception. With twin P-90 singlecoil pickups, vintage-style wraparound tailpiece, and 60s Slim Taper neck profile, this axe is an unbelievable value for players of all ages, styles, and skill levels. The Gibson Melody Maker Special sports a baked maple fingerboard. Baking the wood in a special oven makes the wood water resistant, hard and stable (perfect for fingerboards), with snap and attack similar to ebony - but with a more traditional appearance. As no chemicals are used, the process is also earth-friendly. The Gibson Melody Maker Special has a comfortable, fast-action neck. Whether you're chording down low or soloing up high, Gibson's distinctive '60s Slim Taper always feels just right. With its slick baked maple fingerboard, this guitar is a lean, mean rock machine. Nitrocellulose finish The Gibson Melody Maker Special wears a gorgeous nitrocellulose laquer finish. Nitro finishes - standard back in the '60s and '70s - are significantly thinner than today's polyurethane finishes, allowing the guitar to "breathe." Nitro finishes not only look vintage-y wonderful; they also enhance the instrument's tonal qualities. Gibson Melody Maker Special Features at a Glance: Handcrafted in Nashville, TN Genuine Mahogany body and neck (60s Slim Taper) Baked Maple Fingerboard Nitrocellulose finish Two Gibson P-90 pickups One Vol / One Tone White Button Tuners Wrap-around Bridge 3-Way pickup selector
This guitar is used but in perfect working order. As it has a nitrocellulose finish, it has a beautiful aged satin feel which allows for the wood to breathe and resonate freely and show the traditional signs of ageing and a fantastic 'road worn' appearance. This is a players guitar and it roars!
