So one day I'm over at my friend John Cassidy's house and he says to me, "Hey, I got something you've got to have!" He goes into the bedroom and comes back with this guitar case. I open it up and there it is, an old Gibson with nothing on it, and I mean nothing, but tunning pegs (and those were all bent up.) He said he'd had it for years and wasn't really going to do anything with it and if I wanted it I could have it. At first I thought it was an SG but a friend looked up the serial# and determined that, in fact, it was a Melody Maker, a pretty rare one because the Gibson company only made Melody Makers with the full Gibson headstock for two years; it was their student model. Because the body style was such a hit, the next year Melody Makers had thinner headstocks and their new artist series came out the SG, with the full headstock. Melody Makers traditionally had a single pickup, but my guitar had already been routed out for humbuckers, so I opted to turn it into an SG. I put '57 reissues in it, found a vintage tremolo system, had the pick guard made custom, and got new tunning pegs. There you go, a Melody Maker hauled over to be an SG, and with the headstock the way it is no one can even tell.. but you!! Thank you, John; days like that are few and far between.
