Gibson

Introduced in 1959, the Gibson Melody Maker was the entry level in those days listed for $165. Notable players include Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top, Terry Kath of Chicago, and Joan Jett. The Mahogany body has a nicely checked sunburst finish, wraparound tail piece, and single single-coil pickup mounted to the black pickguard with master volume and tone and "Melody Maker" silkscreen. The set Mahogany neck and unbound Rosewood fingerboard are of similar construction to the SG and Les Paul Juniors and has the same stripped down "raw" vibe of those guitars also. This guitar was repaired previously and we did an extensive restoration including a headstock repair to ensure the lifetime playability of this instrument. It plays and sounds great as well. Original hardshell case included.

Introduced in 1961, the Gibson EB-3 is a short scale dual humbucker bass used by legends Jack Bruce of Cream, Andy Fraser of Free, and Jermaine Jackson of the Jackson 5. These basses were constructed in a similar fashion as the SG guitars they mirror with a Mahogany body, set Mahogany neck and Rosewood finger board, but with a slotted headstock and golden Gibson silkscreen. The EB-3 offers players a large sonic palette with individual Volume and Tone controls for the full sized neck and mini bridge humbuckers along with a rotary switch often referred to as a "chicken head" knob. Depending on the position you can select the neck pickup with midrange notch, bridge pickup, bridge and neck pickups with low end rolled off neck pickup, neck pickup with choke. This bass is in between very good and excellent cosmetic condition. It plays and sounds great as well. Original Gibson branded hardshell case included.
