Heres some info from the Web regarding these cool Gibson Melody Makers... Original Gibson Melody Maker Manufacturer Gibson Period 1959 - 1971 Construction Body type Solid Neck joint Set Scale 24.75" (available with 18.56" short scale until 1970). Woods Body Mahogany Neck Mahogany Fretboard Rosewood Hardware Bridge wraparound tailpiece Pickup(s) 1 or 2 single coil Pickups Colors available Sunburst, Fire Engine Red, Pelham Blue, Sparkling Burgundy, Walnut Melody Maker (1959-1971) 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 a scratchplate 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. Body style From 1959 until 1961, the Melody Maker had a single cutaway slab body style similar to the early Les Paul Junior model but thinner. In 1961 the body style changed to a symmetrical double cutaway, resembling a Gretsch or Danelectro Short horn; the single cutaway model was discontinued. The body style was changed in 1966 to a style similar to the SG with pointed "horns", a large white scratchplate, and white pickup covers instead of black. Note: Melody Maker "D" refers to the double pickup model of any vintage but is often mistakenly used for the double cutaway model. Options Options on the Melody Maker included two pickups, the "D" model and a short-scale 3/4 neck. In 1967 a twelve-string version and a three pickup version were introduced, the Melody Maker 12 and III respectively. A short length version of the vibrato device was also available as an option Colors From 1959 to 1962 the finish was a sunburst, from 1963 to 1965 it was cherry, from 1966 it was fire engine red or pelham blue, in 1967 red was replaced by sparkling burgandy and walnut became an option from 1968. Rare examples were made to order in other custom Gibson colors e.g. Inverness Green.
