Strum Up Some Magic: This 1990 Gibson Melody Maker is a Tone Titan Ready to Make Melodies That’ll “Maker” You Smile!

Hey, string slingers and groove grinders! Looking for a guitar that’s simple, soulful, and packed with that raw rock energy? Feast your eyes (and ears) on this 1990 Gibson Melody Maker—a no-frills powerhouse that’s been crafting hits since the day it left the factory. This isn’t your fancy, over-the-top shred machine; it’s a stripped-down stunner with a single PAF-style humbucker that growls like a vintage beast, delivering creamy sustain, punchy mids, and those sweet, singing highs that’ll have you riffing like a pro. All original from tip to tail, this bad boy has been professionally set up and dialed in for buttery action and spot-on intonation—plug in, and it’s ready to “make” your day with effortless playability!

Clad in a classic finish that pops under the lights (we’re talking that timeless vibe that screams stage-ready), this Melody Maker sports a lightweight mahogany body that’s easy on the shoulders but heavy on tone. The slim mahogany neck fits like a glove, with a rosewood fretboard that’s smooth as silk for lightning-fast runs or chunky chords. It’s got that iconic wraparound bridge for solid tuning stability and a vibe that’s pure Gibson grit. But let’s talk real: this axe has seen some action! A few scratches, bumps, and bruises add buckets of character—like battle scars from epic jam sessions that say, “I’ve got stories to tell.” No major dings, just honest wear that gives it mojo for miles. Think of it as “bruised but not broken”—because this Melody Maker is still “making” beautiful music without missing a beat!

Whether you’re a beginner building your chops or a seasoned player craving that vintage simplicity, this guitar is your ticket to tonal heaven. It’s versatile enough for blues bends, punk power chords, or indie jangle, all with that single humbucker “PAF-ing” the way to glory (pun totally intended!). Priced to fly at [insert price here], don’t let this melody master slip away—it’s calling all creators to come “maker” some noise. Snag it now and let the good times roll! DM for more pics, deets, or to claim your new best friend. 🎸🔥

Terms For Returns & Re-Stocking Fee’s

We recognize and accept a 7 day return policy as per Reverb guidelines, BUT intentions of the return must be communicated in writing within 3 day of receiving the guitar as indicated by the tracking. Unless the guitar is not as described, ORIGINAL & RETURN SHIPPING COSTS WILL NOT BE REFUNDED. There is a 10% Re-stocking fee for ALL guitars that are returned for ANY reason outside of damage from shipping or it arrives significantly not as described. Please note that we record demo videos to make sure our guitars go out exactly as we describe them with zero issues. We understand that feeling comfortable is vital to the purchase of a guitar/bass so in any case, additional measurements or in hand descriptions are available prior to purchase/shipping. Thats said, guitars travel a great distance some times and in transit things can happen. Also guitars acclimate to new environments and this can cause a need for a new set up or minor adjustment. It is acceptable and normal if there is for instance a tiny bit of buzzing or the need to adjust a truss rod. We are in south Florida and if you are in a colder or less humid environment it is almost to be expected. Please read our feedback and see what our customers say. The guitar MUST BE RETURNED IN THE EXACT CONDITION it was advertised/received or it is subject to additional costs & or repair fees. We are not a big chain shop, I hope you understand. If you are uncomfortable with these terms please do not purchase. There are plenty big chain shops that can absorb free trials and shipping.
