Gibson Guitar has announced The Gibson Les Paul Melody Maker from Gibson USA. Resurrecting one of the most popular guitars in Gibson's history, the Melody Maker is an accurate, affordable recreation of the original Melody Makers of the late 1950s.

Originally introduced as a student model, much like the Les Paul Junior, the Melody Maker became a player's favorite for its light weight, comfortable neck, and great tone. Today's Melody Maker is no exception. With a period-correct pickguard housing a special design singlecoil pickup, a vintage-style wraparound tailpiece, rounded neck profile, and slim, light body, the Melody Maker is a great value for players of all ages, styles, and skill levels.

Features:

• Mahogany neck and body
• Wraparound tailpiece
• Chrome hardware
• Special-design pickup
• Available in Vintage Sunburst, Ebony, and Worn White finish

Visit Gibson at this year's NAMM 2007 conference in Anaheim, California, January 18-21st, 2007 in Room 204A.
