Info: UP FOR AUCTION IS A 1961 GIBSON MELODY MAKER ( SER# 88722) IN VERY NICE CONDITION. I BOUGHT THIS GUITAR YEARS AND YEARS AGO FROM A SMALL GUITAR SHOP IN HOLLYWOOD CA. I BELIEVE THE NAME WAS JOHNNY GUITAR??? OTHER THAN THE PAINT BEING STRIPPED AND REFINISHED IN NATURAL, IT APPEARES TO BE ALL ORIGINAL. EVEN THE PICK GUARD SCREWS LOOK LIKE THEY ARE THE ORIGINAL. THE NECK IS STRAIGHT WITH NO CRACKS, BREAKS OR REPAIRS AND THE FRETS ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THE GUITAR PLAYS AND SOUNDS GREAT. THE VOLUME AND TONE POTS ARE A LITTLE SCRATCHY AND IT COULD USE A REWIRE TO CLEAN IT UP. THERE IS A LIGHT CRACK ON THE BACK, IT LOOKS LIKE SOMEBODY TIGHTENED THE STUD FOR THE TAIL PIECE A BIT TOO MUCH, BUT IT DOESN’T AFFECT ANYTHING. I HATE TO SEE IT GO BUT I NEED THE $$$, LOOK AT THE PHOTOS AND SEE IF IT’S SOMETHING YOU WOULD LIKE TO HAVE. PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU BID AS ALL SALES ARE FINAL. THERE IS NO CASE BUT I WILL OVER PACK AS ALLWAYS TO INSURE THAT IT ARRIVES SAFELY. I’M OPEN TO OFFERS.
