Vintage Melody Maker For Auction

The Gibson Melody Maker was one of the company’s most popular guitars in the 1960s. It was introduced in 1959 and marketed as a budget guitar for the beginner, but the solid body axe gained a reputation among experience players for its light weight and great tone.

On eBay someone is selling a 1962 Melody Maker with a double-cutaway body and 3/4 scale neck. According to the auction page, the guitar is being sold by the original owner and in the photos it looks like it’s in pretty good shape. The seller is also throwing in the original case and a Mel Bay guitar book.

Anyone interested in a great vintage Gibson could do a lot worse than this 1962 Melody Maker. The auction goes until March 14.
