Yes, it is a worn SG, 3 pickups with a 6- way selector switch, a LOT of different tones

Love the kids, love giving them back. I have been a full time teacher (high school) for 3 years and a step-parent with out being married (my gf has a 6 year old). Good stuff.

This is a Melody Maker, David - they were also made in double-cutaway, but those looked just like this otherwise.

Thanks, Peter. One of the best guitar players I know only plays the old Melody Maker -- with the body style in your link -- that he's had since he was a kid.

I have also seen some Melody Makers with the SG body style. Like this one.

This is not a hijack of this really neat threadbecause the Melody Makers were student model guitars! Have y'all seen the reissues? You can get a USA Gibson Melody Maker for $350 +or-

Wow - that's a Melody Maker headstock, alright - I've seen many a MM, but never with the SG body. Thanks for expanding my horizons, David. Do you know what era that is?

And just to get back on topic:

Youngest son David on the left, with his buddies Robert Rush (on mandolin) & Alan (whose last name I can never remember).

OH boy,,,, apologies for the dated, fuzzy photos

My son Maxwell with my now sold Exploiter :-(

Max again, with my still present Distillate

Max with his very own first bass.

My daughter Amber at the piano. Both Amber and Max are in their twenties now, I need to find more recent photos. . . Max is still playing bass (rather well) and has a sweet black jazz bass.

Peter, 1966 (I think) until about 1970 (I think.) Gibson also had the double cutaway Melody Makers at this time. Gruhns has had two of the 60ish SG Melody Makers recently and both were gone before I got a chance to try them out.

The children on instrument pics are so cool!

....and the young adults with instrument pics are too cool as well!
