Gibson / Melody Maker Sunburst / 1963 / Guitar

The Gibson Melody Maker was first launched in 1959 and with its thin slab-style mahogany body, straight-sided simplified headstock, one-piece mahogany neck, and all the electronics assembled on the pickguard installed in a rout in the front of the body it has a unique appearance. This instrument was made in 1963, a few years before this model was changed to the SG body style in 1966. Don't let it simple looks fool you though, this is an extremely versatile sounding instrument through the use of its two single coil pickups with black covers. The neck is a nice full C shape and has been fitted with a rosewood fretboard. The wrap- around bridge is newer as are the tuners, the original parts can be found in the hardshell case. The entire wiring harness has been re-done by our workshop so it is in perfect working order and ready for plenty more years of use. The single-coils are quite different from the standard F-style single coils. They have a fuller tone, that's in between a standard single coil and a P90, which matches very well with the mahogany body that gives a beautiful bluesy sound that is very dynamic.

ABOUT US

I have always been opposed to being trapped into a job eight hours a day to purchase the free time to do what I enjoy. That’s why i started the Fellowship of Acoustics. The fellowship of acoustics was founded by Rudi Bults, Guitarist and obsessed with tone and wood. The idea was offering real expertise when trading and selling the finest instruments in the world from our showroom in Bergentheim, Netherlands. Helping others find the right tools and enjoying an atmosphere that’s unhurried, honest and informative that’s my go. We are nothing like the "supermarket" style music stores, but specialize in string-things only. We are widely known for Flattop guitars but also sell electric, mandolins & banjo’s, amps, parts, and accessories. Our store has earned the reputation for being a great place to shop for the best products and service.
It is our hope that this new website - much more than a list of "gear" for sale - will serve as an example of our commitment to offering a more personal approach, a friendly atmosphere, and an ultimately more satisfying experience for our friends and customers.
If you have any questions just dial +31-523-232205 or e-mail info@thefellowshipofacoustics.com My name is Rudi Bults, and I’m always here to help out. Wherever possible, we would recommend that you visit our store and experience our instruments and service first hand. However, because of our high standards you can be confident of ordering online from us. We hope you enjoy your visit to our site, and welcome your feedback.
