Very cool... great playing and sounding 1962 Gibson Melody Maker DThese guitars are under valued... for now. Once people realize they can rock an early 60's USA Full scale double pickup guitar for a small fraction of the price of say a fender telecaster or stratocaster, the prices will climb fast. They have already jumped a lot in the past few years. And why not?!... old growth Honduran mahogany body and one piece neck with a Brazilian fretboard! Hmmm... let me think?... All original except neck pickup screws... changed because rubber grommets compressed... originals includedNeck straight and true with low action no fret buzz. Full medium neck profile feels great... frets in great shape with new dressing. Not sure about tremolo? These did come out of factory with tremolo option... your call... serves like a stoptail... someone filed grooves in bridge so strings don't slide when bending notes... works great. No bar.Missing one fret marker... missing 2 pick guard screws... doesn't affect anything and pick guard lays down fine.Overall great and fun to play Original alligator case... rough...
