A Real Bargain for a Real Gibson!
When you consider the expanded Melody Maker lineup from Gibson, it's easy to see that Gibson's tradition of providing great, affordable guitars is still very much alive today. Although the 2011 Melody Maker line is a limited run (and you DON'T want to miss out on this) these guitars are priced so that any guitarist can pick one up. Like the original Melody Maker, the Gibson Les Paul Melody Maker is reminiscent of the 1959 Les Paul Junior. Its thinner and lighter body makes this an incredibly comfortable guitar to play, and its 1-piece set mahogany neck gives you the rock-solid sustain you need.

Unlike the single-coil pickups found on Melody Makers in the past, the Les Paul Melody Maker features a 491T ceramic-magnet humbucker controlled by only a simple volume knob. This simple configuration gives you the purest tone possible, plus the outstanding punch of a humbucker. Simply put, the Les Paul Melody Maker is an instrument made for a true guitar-lover.
