| Comments | Here’s a rare piece – a 1970 Gibson Melody Maker 12-String! Melody Makers were Gibson’s entry level instruments and lots were made, but the 12-string was not at all common. This example is in good playing condition and has no structural problems. Very cool! |
| Serial Number | 904045, built during 1970 in Kalamazoo, Michigan. |
| Pricing | $1,799.99 CAD with non-original case. |
| Neck | Mahogany neck with unbound rosewood fingerboard, distinctive narrow Melody Maker peghead. 24.75 inch scale length. |
| Frets | Original frets with light to moderate wear. |
| Body | SG-style lightweight mahogany body |
| Finish | Original gloss nitrocellulose finish in good condition. Naturalk on the neck, but the body has what might have originally been a copper colour, but now tends towards burgundy, with a slight metallic tinge. |
| Hardware/electronics | All original! Kluson delxue strip tuners with creme plastic buttons, single-coil pickups, sliding selector switch, individual volume and tone controls. Adapted, intonated stop-bar wraparound bridge with the 12-string tailpiece also used on Gibson 6/12 doublenecks. |
| Playability/Action | Currently set too low for the upper register – 2/64ths treble and 4/64ths bass – in the chording parts of the neck, the guitar plays cleanly and easily. |
| Case | Gator bass case included. |
