The melody maker i had was the 2 p'up version that came out a few years back- think I paid 325 at the time.  figured there was a good chance it'd be whack and it surely was.  the neck pickup sounded fucking sweet though, so I kept it for awhile.  Eventually traded to some old bastard for a Beta lead

damn, good trade... for you.

yeah- I saw that guitar hanging in a shop less than a week later, dude said he was just gonna trade it on some acoustic he'd been buying on layaway.  The store had a $500 tag on it and, of course, they hadn't bothered to file the frets or do a damn thing to it.

Gibson prices are all out of whack.  Melody Makers are around $500.  Guess I'll post this baby again:



Best $150 Guitar evah!

deaner, what's underneath that pick guard? any routes or anything?

Long overdue update - no routs as confirmed by my superawesome guitar tech.   ;D

If you are interested, ask him nicely and he might post a video of it in it's glory...

Yeah, yeah, this is garbage playing, but it was amusing to hear this little bastard do what it was.

I'm a hack on guitar... and everything else.

WAIT UNTIL I GET A STEEL. Then I can be mediocre at that, too!

anyways, buy one of these Arbors. they're cool. Moar p90s in my future if I decide to keep doing this stupid shit.
