This 1963 Gibson Melody Maker is a lightweight, no-frills rocker with vintage vibe and tone to match. Featuring a single-cut mahogany body, a full neck profile, and its original rewound single-coil pickup, it delivers punchy, articulate tones perfect for garage rock, blues, or punk. A great example of Gibson’s student models that’s become a cult favorite over the decades. Check out the Specs tab for the full details. It includes the original alligator chipboard case. 

*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.
