that the 2 pickup version?

[jwsnell001]

yes two pickups - they are not humbucks - they are single wound. Guitar is quiet on bridge and neck pickup and real strong on both pickups.

wow i love ur finger picking style...ive never seen it done like that b4...absalutly great sounding peice

[jwsnell001]

Thanks for the comments but I am going to have to re-record this. This version is rushed, timing is terrible and there are too many mistakes. It sounds so much better, slower with finese. It was late when I recorded it and it should not have been posted.

[jwsnell001]

Thank you - very kind. This piece was written to be played slower and with more finesse. I was frustrated having screwed it up several times, and you can hear that. I plan to do it right. The Mellody Maker is my least expensive electric and one of my all time favorites.

hmm I watched it 3 times back to back... sweet.

where can I get this guitar with the two pickups??

its rare, isn't it?

[jwsnell001]

THX - This is probably the cheapest Gibson you can buy. About $375 I believe - its a Gibson Melody Maker Re-issue and is available at almost any online music store. Neck usually needs a simple adjustment to make it play well.

wow, awsome songs, awsome playing, loving this video

and that guitar is pretty sexy, it looks like a les paul has made love to a telecaster

[hooptyndablowfish]

That sounded more like some sort of hybrid rockabilly than jazz to my ear. It sounds good.

[megamicron]

This MM dual is it too much more expensive than the single coil version?

[Lennonlegend94]

[animatorz2010]

[AnthonyYaff]

Does paint come off easily? I've been hearing that a lot

[Simto]

Great vintage tone and AWESOME playing, you play very effortlessly

[AlanSturgess]

Great demo of the versatility of the Melody Maker. The double pickup version has been discontinued, but a few can still be found in the odd store or on Ebay if you look hard enough. The single version is a lovely little instrument anyway - very versatile.

@soopermv Picki and fingerstyle is a real fingerbusting technique. I've tried it but haven't the skill. Gordon Giltrap is an expert at it in the folk style.

i have this guitar... what do you think about it? and totally awesome playing! for some reason i love the way the guitar plays, the only thing i may do is add some tuners...

[noodle4313]
