Description

This '66 Melody Maker D has had the vibrola removed, giving it better tuning stability like its hardtail brothers. The D signifies "double cut", and although the Melody Maker line was one of Gibson's entry-priced models, don't let that fool you - this one can still rock with the best of them.
