What's Hot
Hi all, up for sale is a super cool and extremely rare custom colour ‘Ember Red’ early ‘65 Gibson Melody Maker, in great shape, playing great and sounding awesome!

I’ve always loved Melody Makers, as they capture so much of what makes vintage Gibson’s so compelling, but at a more affordable price point.
This one has a big 64 SG neck profile, wide pre ‘65 nut, all nickel parts, and save aged replacement Klusons, fully stock- plus the original finish is so rare, I didn’t even know Melody Makers came in it!
This one sounds like a ‘50s Jnr- fat, sassy and punchy, with added Esquire-like twang and stringiness, all controlled from the twin knobs.
Price is now ***£1650*** including a decent condition ‘50s faux croc skin LP Jnr case which is worth a couple hundred quid in itself!
Please PM for more pics and any questions and I’m happy to ship anywhere, pro packed and tracked.
Thanks for reading, J@S.

I haven't seen this colour before, very cool.
I’m going to drop the price to £2k shipped with the ‘50s case to move this along, as I’ve just bought two more guitars I couldn’t pass on..
My '65 has the short Vibrola but, like the OP, I removed it in the interests of tuning stability. Deep neck
I don't think anything's original apart from the neck, body, scratchplate and pickup - maybe some screws - but on the other hand it hasn't had any neck breaks, routing or holes drilled in it. I assume the finish is original but I'm not expert enough to tell one way or the other.
