Description

At sixty four years old, this Melody Maker plays with great ability and even more in upgraded tone. In good cosmetic and playing condition, having been reborn with thoughtful upgrades such as brand new electronics and pickguard, excellent new tuners, and a mojo bridge. This guitar marries old soul with modern performance and the addition of a Lollar P-90 pickup ensures a rich, fat tone. A solid piece of musical history poised to carve new paths with its lucky new owner.

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
