Description
This is a used Gibson Melody Maker Flying V guitar. The item pictured is the one you will receive. It has been tested and gone over by the experts at our shop. When a guitar is purchased from us it undergoes a final setup check before shipping to ensure it’s playing optimally. It is then packed with care and shipped to your door! (But please be aware that it may need slight tweaks upon arrival due to weather differences, jostling during shipping, etc.). Please read the description carefully and check over all photos for condition and wear. We do our best to describe all items as best as possible and note any wear we find, but please be considerate that it is a used piece and it won’t be perfect (Unless noted as “Mint Condition” or “10/10” for condition). If you have any questions about this or any other piece of gear we have, please let us know and we’ll be happy to help!

Condition Notes:
– Condition: 8.5/10
– Fret wear: None! The frets are in really awesome shape!
– Any wear of note: The guitar is in overall amazing shape but shows a few light signs of use. The worst of it is the finish cracks on the back of the left horn, which are pictured in direct light to try to show them better. But other than that, it exhibits a few extremely light and normal surface dings in a couple of spots that you can only really notice in certain light when you’re looking for them. Really very minor and minimal, to the point where they won’t even photograph. But again, the guitar is in overall amazing shape and it’s ready to rock!
– General notes: Gibson really made some very sweet and simple guitars with this Melody Maker series. You feel it right away with this Flying V. It’s really resonant and responsive, weighing only 6lb 5oz! The neck is super comfortable and the baked maple fretboard really pairs well with the mahogany. The wraparound bridge has a great sound and feel which adds even more to the mojo the guitar has. The pickup is clear and punchy. And with just a single Volume control, there’s way less impeding the signal compared to your traditional Flying V electronics, so you get a little more output and bite! It’s a super simple and super effective guitar. Made for the musician that just wants to plug in a get to playing! And made in the USA!
– Accessories included: Original gig bag and pictured literature only.
