Gibson / Melody Maker / 1966 / Aged Pelham Blue / Guitar
|
Here’s a nice playing Melody Maker with the later SG body style, finished in a beautiful, somewhat faded and crazed Pelham Blue colour. The pickup was replaced by a Curtis Novak P90 for Melody Maker pickup, which improved the sound a lot; with the added power and low end it sounds more like an SG Junior. The guitar wasn’t routed or modified so it could be brought back to its original state if necessary. Apart from the replaced pickup and the missing vibrato part the guitar is all original, the original cardboard case is also included.
The original low yet wide frets still have plenty of life left and perform great. It’s a great no-frills guitar for straight rhythm playing yet it’s still quite versatile when the tone and volume controls are used wisely.

- Modifications: Vibrato string retaining part and bar are missing; Pickup was replaced by a P90 for Melody Maker by Curtis Novak (original not included with the sale)
