Description
We've had a lot of Melody Makers in the shop over the years & here's an ultra cool double-cutaway, double pickup model. This beauty dates to '62 & sports a perfectly sculpted neck that plays great up & down the fretboard. Professionally set up with fresh strings & low action so it plays & sounds fabulous.
Cosmetic Condition: Good honest play wear, just the way we like to see them - various nicks, chips, dents & dings; scratches, weather checking & some mild finish wear. The name Don was painted in the top of the body. Overall the guitar looks great, with an authentic vintage vibe & beautiful patina.
Neck: Mahogany neck with cream side-dots. Beautiful dark rosewood fingerboard with mother of pearl dot inlays. Frets show some wear, but have plenty of life in them. Kluson Deluxe tuners with cream buttons. 1 11/16" nut width; 24 3/4" scale length. Neck is straight & truss rod works fine.
Body: Double-cutaway, solid mahogany body with sunburst finish top. Replacement compensated wrap-around bridge with nickel hardware, but the original is included with the guitar. Single-ply black pickguard with faded Melody Maker logo. Guitar weighs a delightful 5 lbs 13.1 oz. Light weight & exceptionally resonant!
Electronics: Two Melody Maker single coils with black covers & 3-way toggle switch. Dual volume & tone controls with gold "top hat" knobs. The bridge tone knob is a newer replacement. Pots date to '62 & all electronics are in good working condition.
Case: Original chipboard case included.
