Gibson 2014 Les Paul Melody Maker Bag & Upgraded Bridge/Tuners Dual P90 42015

Description

This is a 2014 Gibson Les Paul Melody Maker in Charcoal finish. Great player with original bag and papers, plus a Badass style bridge for better intonation--big improvement over stock! Weight = 7lbs, 10oz.

Condition
Cosmetically it's in good condition. No big dings or scratches. Only paint missing is small marks on back of headstock. Frets are in excellent condition.

Features
— Nitro finished mahogany body & neck
— Dual soapbar p90 pickups
— Upgraded Grover tuners and intonated bridge

Sound & Playability
With the two P90 pickups you get lots of the classic Gibson tone and sustain. Thin nitro satin finish without the gobs of clearcoat to choke your sound. All mahogany archtop body and 50s rounded neck with a rosewood fretboard--again classic. Plays great all over the neck with nice action.

The upgraded bridge means you can get exact intonation, unlike with the stock Gibson wraparound. Grover Deluxe green tulip tuners are also a step up in quality. These have a thinner body than a standard Les Paul so it's really easy to handle and easy on the back. The included Gibson taco bag is in good shape and has some original paperwork. I do a full setup and expert packing: details below. Buy from a trusted seller with fast insured shipping. Thanks

Guitar Setup
Setup includes new strings (9s or 10s depending on what the nut is cut for), overall polish, clean and oil fingerboard. We spray out any pots that are noisy, turn the truss rod (if necessary) and set string height at low-to-medium action depending on string buzz present. We do a basic setup since setup is highly subjective you may want to get it set to your particular needs by your personal luthier anyway. Thanks!

Packing
Search "How to Pack a Guitar + Hot Girls" on YouTube for a video showing how I pack. I use quality boxes, thick bubble wrap, and peanuts to pack guitars. I have been doing this 15 years and know how to pack well--with or without a hard case. You can also read my packing blog post on my StillKickinMusic website. If you Google "Still Kickin - How to Pack a Guitar" you will find it. Thanks.

Manufacturer Info

The Gibson Les Paul Melody Maker solidbody electric guitar sports a slim mahog body that's lightweight and comfortable to play. Originally introduced as a student model (much like the Les Paul Junior), the Melody Maker became a player's favorite for its light weight, comfortable neck, and great tone. You've got two P-90 single-coil pickups which many players consider more versatile than humbuckers. And you'll have a solid foundation for both rhythm and lead playing, thanks to the '50s rounded neck profile.

Gibson Les Paul Melody Maker Solidbody Electric Guitar at a Glance:

Wide-ranging tone from dual P-90 pickups
The classic feel of the '50s rounded neck profile
Great looking nitro finish

The Gibson Les Paul Melody Maker is fitted with two P-90 pickups. Gibson's first successful single-coil pickup, the P-90 can be heard on countless classic recordings. With its biting treble and high output, the P-90 cleans up nicely when you roll back your guitar's volume pot. And when you hit your amp hard, the P-90 really wails.

The Gibson Les Paul Melody Maker wears a gorgeous nitrocellulose laquer finish. Nitro finishes - standard back in the '60s and '70s - are significantly thinner than today's polyurethane finishes, allowing the guitar to "breathe." Nitro finishes not only look vintage-y wonderful; they also enhance the instrument's tonal qualities.
