The Gibson Melody Maker Electric Guitar, Satin Ebony, 6-String, most affordable USA Gibson, Chrome Hardware, Dot inlays, Special design Singlecoil Pickup. A loving tribute to the style and spirit of the 1959 edition.
The Gibson Melody Maker electric guitar is a legendary part of Gibson’s “Golden Era”—the late 1950s and early 1960s— best known for the emergence of the company’s iconic Les Paul Standard. But the Les Paul wasn’t the company’s best-selling guitar during this historic period. That title belongs to the legendary Melody Maker. Today’s Melody Maker is a loving tribute to the style and spirit of the 1959 edition of that beloved guitar. It is also remains one of Gibson’s most popular models, as well as its most affordable USA-made guitar. Originally introduced as a student model, the Melody Maker became an instant hit for its solid, slim, and lightweight mahogany body, its super comfortable neck, and outstanding tone. Today’s version is no exception. It features the same thin, solid mahogany body, and a one-piece solid mahogany neck with the traditional ’50s rounded profile and 22-fret rosewood fingerboard. The pickguard and electronics are period-correct, and the pickup is a special-design singlecoil that delivers vintage tone and performance. With a vintage-style wraparound tailpiece and white button tuners, the Melody Maker is an instant classic—an incredible value for players of all ages, styles, and skill levels.
