Description

This 1964 Melody Maker is a standout piece—full of character, tone, and vibe. It features an old eagle decal, an upgraded Mojo Tone bridge, and a custom-wound pickup by respected Nashville luthier Wade Coder, modeled after his favorite early-’60s P-90. The result is a huge, dynamic sound that easily shifts from snarling lead tones to sweet, melodic textures with just a twist of the volume knob. The setup is spot-on, making it a joy to play. Cosmetically, it shows some wear of a well-loved instrument that's been making music for over 60 years.

Comes with original alligator chipboard
