[MsKori1000]

dave hunter looks like mike dirnt of green day anyone agree please reply

[StephenFiorentini]

these things kick ass

[justrockon426]

I had the chance to try on of these es 125, but it was a 1964, and I found that it sounded really good, played really good and brought a nice feeling overall :D

[StephenFiorentini]

The little sg/melody maker is lovely. I'd love one.

[dingleberrycherry]

The best review i've seen on youtube in a long, long time.

[Ankamaandre]

He lloks a bit like Mike Dirnt O.o

[iWreXx]

@Ankamaandre lol not even close

[vampyros1]

That melody maker is a great trashy-tone garage-punk ax. The one Carl is playing sounds like crap, but Carl's a great player, no doubt.

[MhStrat]

can you remove the tremelo arm?

[BillyTalentguitar1]

@MhStrat I think it´s a maestro so you can remove the screw and pull it out. I got one myself :)

[taariqtaariq]

G and L make the best electric guitars these days followed by Ibanez. Blind faith in Big guitar Brand names is a common disease.

[fraterlucifer888]

actualy the es125 is basic version of an es 165 ,so its a very good jazz guitar,these guys are kinda snobbish in thier attitudes toward lower range guitars forgeting that a "student" model from 40 even from 20 years ago is amuch higher quality than a prograde guitar from korea or china is now

[lralbrecht]

the sg body melody maker are absolutely amazing... i've seen one with p90s on it at a guitar shop and should have bought it... so great.

[nihilnoise]

I see a Dr Z

[gageman70]

what song do you play at 2:00

[alohastewie]

my guess on the es is that the pickup isnt grounded, in my experience this produces a real powerful low end sound, and i think thats what carl is talking about.

[surfco]

I want a Gibbons SP.

[GJAIRSOFT]

those guitars are very nice i wish i had a gibsong rfrrtgj59gpykhgojyh4i0ygjminh9­fun,g6jn0my5,y,phn6jih56,hnyhn­hnhnhnhnhnhnhnhnhnhnhnhnhnhnhn­hnhnhnhnhnhnhnhnnh

[GJAIRSOFT]

those guitars are very nice i wish i had a gibson

[tatsandteles]

You can find modified 60's Melody Makers out there fairly cheap. $400 and up. I got a 61' with a neck repair with a 64' Epiphone Olympic(awesome guitar, like Firebird neck) with box of old parts from a guy in Wisconsin for $250. He was a retired Luthier cleaning out his shop. The parts he sold me were incredible, old 50's and 60's Gibson pieces he had accumulated over the years. I made a fortune on that deal. By the way, early 60's Melody makers have nice full size necks, great wood.

[Commiteee]

do they still make the SG version? if not when was the last time they started making them?

[KyleNicholasVerbeke]

@Commiteee

No, they made them from 1967 to the mid-to-late 1970s.

[Glockenator]

@Commiteee Unfortunatley, they don't

[gregieb0i]

Man I'd love to own one of those.

Anybody know what kinda riff that was @5:07? I'd love to learn something like that. haha

[cheezbeenzriz]

2:45 Then why the hell are maestro tailpiece so costly?

[DaveShredder5150]

@cheezbeenzriz dude its gibson, even a pack of strings is 10 bucks

[cheezbeenzriz]

@DaveShredder5150 yeah I noticed you pay for the name more than the product itself.

[Acr2440]

I love my 2007 dual pickup melody maker. It's light, very comfortable, has great sustain, and the pickups sound a bit like a Telecaster with more balls. I agree that like all gibsons it is overpriced, but I got mine used.

[lastkiz13]

reminds me of a fender fiesta red mustang.. lolz, nice work gibson..

[GoHabs13]

love the red on the sg style melody maker

[bugaddi51]

wow thats great cool -greetings from germany -winni

[billjoe534]

man i would give anything for a sg melody maker I HATE BEING LEFTY!!

[dpark918]

dont kill yourself

[jks2]

Weezer guitar!

[krullebol4]

dave hunter is an total ass when it comes on talking about guitars, always talking like he´s best, while he plays like a monkey.

[Hyronimus89]

@krullebol4

And what to do with Leo Fender then?! The guy could not play a single note on a guitar but he build the most signiffant and recognizeble guitars in the world!

I think you can and may talk about guitars even if you play not quite good.

[krullebol4]

@Hyronimus89 ok that´s true.

[Hyronimus89]

;) Never judge to soon, greetings and respect.

[ruffles272]

the new melody makers are crap. you could get alot better guitar for alot less

[TheMolenes]

I've noticed there are some questions about the amps here - they are discussed in the book and the full DVD with it (this is just an excerpt from a DVD that's well over one hour long), but to give you the details here, the amp on the left is Victoria's own prototype (first assembled example) of the new single-ended Two Stroke model, available as kit or fully assembled. The amp on the right is a Dr Z Z-28. No pedals in this excerpt, just tuners for mute on/off I believe.

[starwarsraul13]

how much is the Sg melody maker

[6730]

i saw a one just like that one in the vintage room at the guitar center in Hollywood, CA and it was like $1400

[littlefury]

@starwarsraul13

Around $900 for one in good condition with a single bridge-pickup. 2-pickups models are slightly more expensive: around $1200.

[Glockenator]

@starwarsraul13 For a new one, about 650 bucks. The cheapest Gibson USA guitar on them market tody

[Guitarvirtuoso666]

@starwarsraul13

around 2000 dollar for a one pickup version, a real 60's vintage.

[ChumpJoe]

Do they get out of tune constantly like Epiphones?

[barrelstudios]

they use gibsons standard tuners, but i don't like gibsons tuners so i guess so, but i'm still getting one :D

[TheSmokingGuitar]

only crappy epi's go out of tune, my brother has a les paul deluxe epi, and its intonation is amazing. so like the les paul specials and such, they suck

[jks2]

they don't have oil tuners (like shallers or grovers) just the standard ''open'' 3 on a plate things so they aren't that good.

[gmanhell94]

I have a meldoy maker to. It had a regualr alcino single coil pickup and I put a humbucker in

[kingofthewater777]

what kind of amp is the guy on the left playing?

[ASTROAVERY]

haha 1:00 he sounds like an old man

[TeamXTREMEPANTERA]

@ASTROAVERY those crazy kids and their rock and roll bands

[TeamXTREMEPANTERA]

@TeamXTREMEPANTERA and their fancy record players

[hodowncorexxx]

David Ryan Harris plays a melody maker with John Mayer, it sounds really good.

[redbird963]

Joan Jett also plays a melody maker

[Sympathy4theDiablo]

Robby Krieger played a Melody Maker on The Doors' first album.

[Merjia]

Really? Sweet.

[baddmaddogg]

two fitty!!

[rocktheintertubes94]

affordable in the 60s

Not so much now!

[travtag]

I got one for under 300 on eBay, then put some time, money, and work into it. Total cost=around $500 with new true Bigsby and Kluson Deluxe Tuners. I love it!

[MiniMightyMan96]

which one?

[jamespagina]

A 1968 Gibson SG melody Maker. The bright red one...

[SimonRamone1]

[Yoruboy]

Yep, ordered one and its coming in by mid February. Its just a great guitar.

[07munch]

Could you do a review im really thinking of getting one

[Yoruboy]

As soon as it comes, i most likely will.

[CheckerTele]

By golly, its a Gibson Stratocaster!

[micromind6666]

[savinmeagain]

I wish they would tell the amps they use, that has a lot to do with the sound

[lagman50]

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeee oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooo eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeee

[shinjiyasuno]

[travtag]

I just got one like that first its actually a 68 sg melody maker also. Paid around 295 but it needs some work, im excited though

[infernox123456]

[BobCronley]

I almost bought a Melody Maker, but I got laied off and had to give it back to the guy.  It was the same color as the one Carl had, SG body with one P90 and the vibrato. I liked it.
