Description Brand: Gibson Model: Melody Maker
This is a really nice guitar. Unfortunately I've been playing fenders too long and can't get use to the short scale. The only thing slightly damaged on this thing are the bridge studs. The previous owner (my guitar student) didn't take the time to loosen the strings before adjusting the bridge and thus the studs are slightly damaged. You can still adjust them but please note they may not be cosmetically pleasing. I set this guitar up myself and it is good to go.Bass side 4/64ths Treble 3/64thsNeck is straight and relief is even on both sides of the neckNo fret buzz or dead spotsIntonation: as you may already know, the intonation with these bridges is not perfect. I found that I got lucky with this guitar as the ead and high e strings are spot on. G string- the set of strings I have on are regular daddario 10's with a wound 18 g. With the wound g, the intonation is spot on. If you were to use a plain g string you would find it to be slightly sharp. Please keep this in mind and note that it's just the way the cookie crumbles with this type of bridge. A solution for this problem is to buy a new bridge or tune the g string flat if you don't play with open strings. I will pack better than the way these are shipped from the factory. Please let me know if you have any questions, comments or concerns.
