Description

A light weight, great playing '60s player's Gibson Melody Maker! It has seen its fair share of repairs having been re-fretted with a doweled heel repair and over-sprayed on the top front and back of the headstock as well as the heel. The fretboard was also previously lacquered over at some point some point but has since worn off in some spots and is not very noticeable. It is a VERY good player and sounds incredible so this is a great chance to get a vintage Gibson that's stage ready!

Includes a vintage chipboard case.
