1965 Gibson Melody Maker Red, Excellent, Original Soft, $1,295.00

A classic. A straightforward Gibson solidbody from the heyday of bands like Gerry and the Pacemakers (or was it Peacemakers?), Vanilla Fudge, we could go on. 100% original except for one small, solid improvement, that of the original cheesy open-back tuners being replaced by new, high-quality covered Kluson replicas. The rest all there: pickup, dated pots, finish, the whole nine yards. Get up on that fabulous decade gone past, the Swingin' Sixties, for only $1295 w/ossc
