Vintage 1961 Gibson Melody Maker Full Scale Single Cut W/ Hardshell Case. For a 63-year-old guitar, I would consider this in  good condition player grade. There is some finish wear as you can see to the back of the necks and finish checking to the body. Everything on this guitar is original with the exception of the pots. They were changed in the late '89 with CTS pots and the bridge has been changed. I'm guessing at the same point in time. Other than that 100% original. There is some wear on the fretboard. Although the frets are in great condition, I would say about 70%. serial  purchased from the original owner. The owner did not remember the store name of the store but this was purchased in Nashville, Tennessee in the fall of 61 approximately a. Featherweight  @ 6.5. lb on our postal scale. Includes non-original hardshell case. This item will ship FedEx ground fully insured with tracking and signature confirmation. No exceptions. Shipping to the lower 48 states only.
