Additionally, this very fine example sounds and feels as good as it looks. Finding a better preserved example would be nearly impossible, so take advantage of this rare opportunity to buy one of the finest classic 2-pickup 1959-body style Melody Makers on eBay with a No Reserve auction!This guitar has a perfectly straight neck, and the frets display absolutely no playing wear. The only notable neck wear is that on the bass side edge (where binding would appear) caused by the included capo. There is one ding on the top accompanied by a noticeable scratch near the controls, but the body is otherwise pristine. The only wear on the guitar appears to be caused by miscellaneous items floating in the case.Both pickups are perfectly matched and were measured indicating an identical amount of resistance. The guitar sounds surprisingly great, and is highly enjoyable and quite usable. Perfect for both vintage guitar collectors, vintage players and modern enthusiasts, this is the one to buy. ...Remember, this guitar was made by the same craftsmen who sculpted those very special '60 Les Paul Standards, and while it is not nearly as exquisite, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.Since the Melody Maker was considered a budget guitar, it is actually moderately rare that early single-cut examples featured two pickups rather than one, as it cost slightly more than it's inferior single pickup counterpart. This first generation Melody Maker (made between 1958-1961) was the closest with regard to resembling a Les Paul, as the design quickly adopted a double-cutaway design, which it retained until it was discontinued some years later.Please take time to enjoy all 97 photos, and do not hesitate to ask any questions!
