Gibson Vintage Melody Maker
Price by model year
This page covers vintage Melody Makers from the late-1950s student-model years through pre-2000 examples, so it spans more than one body shape, pickup format and buyer profile. Early single-cut and double-cut originals have real collector energy, while later guitars usually trade more on originality, weight and raw utility than on prestige. This is one of Gibson's most often-modded lines, so the winners are the guitars that somehow escaped routing, repainting and half-finished upgrade plans.
