Vintage 1960 1961 Gibson USA Melody Maker Tobacco Sunburst Guitar
Vintage 1960 1961 Gibson USA Melody Maker Tobacco Sunburst Guitar
This is an extremely good example of these early 1960s Gibson. We have checked the condition and the originality of this guitar and it is to a very high standard!
This is one of the first Melody Makers ever produced! With its launch in 1959, this is merely a year afterwards. It sports the single cutaway (later changed to double cutaway) thin slab-style mahogany body and one-piece mahogany neck, single single-coil pickup and wraparound bridge – it’s one for the enjoyed investments!
Serial number is 0 4381
Weighs in at 6.4lbs
This guitar has been checked over and restrung, where necessary, to make it a playable standard. To find out more about what our service includes, please check out our terms and conditions before purchasing.
Condition
Overall ‘very good’ condition. There are a few very small dings, as pictured, but no breaks or cracks! Very rare on a guitar like this, especially with the old style headstock! There are two small circular marks to the back, which looks like it could have been caused by a buckle of some sort. Nothing of significance, but please check the pictures.
Please have a close look at the high resolution photographs below, as these form part of our description.
Originality
Internally and externally original. A very rare occurrence!
At The Music Locker we will do all we can for you to get the instrument you want. You’re more than welcome to come along and have a play on this through one of our vintage amplifiers!
