REVIEW: 2014 Gibson Melody Maker, Part 1 ….are P90s the new PAFs? – GUITAR IN YOUR POCKET

wordpress.com

The 2014 Gibson Melody Maker is a budget-friendly gem that delivers on performance, despite its rough edges. With its thinner body and P90 pickups, it offers a comfortable playability and classic Gibson sound at an affordable price. While the finish is inconsistent, and the plastic pegs could be more appealing, the guitar’s robust build and excellent setup make it a great choice for those willing to overlook minor cosmetic flaws. It's a stripped-down, well-built instrument with a lot of heart, perfect for players who value substance over style.

Armstrong has been using this guitar, which seems a lot like his "Floyd" Les Paul Junior. He played this guitar for "Acoustic-4-A-Cure" concert, done in 2014.

The Gibson Melody Maker is an electric guitar made by Gibson Guitar Corporation. It has had many body shape variations since its conception in 1959. The Gibson Melody Maker was first launched in 1959 and discontinued in 1971. It had a thin slab-style mahogany body and a one-piece mahogany neck. All the electronics, from the small single-coil pickups to the cable jack, were assembled on the pickguard and installed in a rout in the front of the body. The strings ran from a straight-sided simplification of the traditional Gibson headstock at one end to a wraparound bridge/tailpiece unit at the other. Serial: 120161. Pretty clean vintage Melody Maker. Some wear on the bottom of the guitar and very light finish checking. Marks near the top horn. Otherwise the electronics are clean and the neck is straight and true. Strap is hardwired on. Not even any buckle rash on this one!
