From the Manufacturer

The original Melody Maker guitar was introduced by Gibson in 1959 and was based on the same philosophy: American-made quality at a price for the beginning player.

The Melody Maker features a mahogany body with a lightweight '60s-style slim taper neck and rosewood fingerboard with dot inlays. It comes in three cool satin finishes for an aged look: Satin Ebony, Satin Cherry and Satin Yellow

Appointments include a single dog ear P-90 pickup for vintage tone, Tune-o-matic bridge and chrome hardware.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Gibson Les Paul Melody Maker Electric Guitar (with Gig Bag) (Satin Cherry)

Hey, Im Parker, Im 13, and I got this for christmas. Dude, this guitar is great. The wood is very soft, so the guitar itself is nice to hold. It also plays very well and the strings almost never loosen up, so you dont have to tune it as much. I also got a VOX amp with it, and it is the perfect combo for anyone in a band, or just looking to annoy someone for 5 straight hours; experienced :)
