The YouTube vid indicated I wanted to sell it. I don’t.
Very nice
I was 17 in 1978. I purchased this from my teacher for $ 175.00. Whithin 1 month the headstock was repaired at Marshall Music in Lansing, Mi. Coming home for Christmas from Chanute Afb, Il. on a night bus to Flint, Mi. I fell asleep with my leather jacket on my lap and my guitar between me and the bus window seat. When I awoke in Detroit, Mi. The leather jacket and the guitar was gone. 2 yrs ago – I sent Gibson a copy picture of my Gibson Les paul junior to verify the exact name because some luthiers said it was not a “junior” but a melody maker. I told them it has the “SG” -style double cut away horns… Finally seeing this one converted to 2-pick ups is ” AWESOME” – enjoy and awaiting responce. I finally was able to show my wife to verify it! Thank You.
Hi- I just replied to you and now have just listened to the video and the sweet modifications. I have a 1998 Fender Stratocastor American. 3-noisless frets and all original. I have approx. $ 1400.00 invested. It has some light scratches but over all very good condition. Plays sweet. I’m just in my heart a Gibson person.
Hey Ted… sorry your axe got lifted. I know it had to be devastating, especially at only 17 years old. But glad you got a nice strat. Did you see my comments in the video about the strat in the pawn shop? I still wonder about that guitar, 40 years later. Best I remember, the Melody Maker had the rounded horns, whereas the SG had pointy ones. They were both cheap-o bottom of the line Gibsons, same as the Fender Jaguar was a cheap-o Fender till Curt Kobain got ahold of one, then suddenly they were cool.
