1959 Gibson Melody Maker 3/4 – Sunburst

We present an all original 1959 Gibson Melody Maker 3/4 in its original Sunburst finish. Made in Kalamazoo, Michigan.

This vintage Gibson model has become more and more rare to come across. First of all because this isn’t just any Melody Maker. It’s a 3/4 model from the first year of production – 1959. It’s small and very fun to play. It features a 1-piece single cutaway mahogany body, 1- piece mahogany neck with dark rosewood fingerboard. It has got a gorgeous Sunburst finish with some beautiful finish checking all over the body. It features a single wide “Bottom” White pickup that sounds really nice. It’s a rare feature as this pickup was only in production in 1959.

Overall, this guitar is in excellent condition with minor nicks and dings and other cosmetic wear, as you would expect from a almost 70 year old guitar, but nonetheless a gorgeous example. The original frets have plenty of life left.

Pickup and the electronics/wiring remains untouched and intact, with no broken solder joints, no re-wound pickup. All original and 100% correct.

It comes with the original chipboard case, original hang tag and original strap. It’s all there!
