A rock machine! This 1966 Gibson Melody Maker D is an excellent example of the model’s transition into the iconic SG-style body shape. Finished in Pelham Blue, this example has aged green and conserves most of the original features.

Equipped with dual Gibson single-coil pickups, this Melody Maker delivers the articulate, punchy sound that defined an era. The bridge position offers cutting clarity, while the neck pickup provides a fuller, rounded tone—together creating a versatile palette suitable for a wide range of styles.

The Slim Taper “D” neck profile plays effortlessly, with a rosewood fingerboard that balances comfort and resonance. Weighing just 6 lbs. 7.5 oz., this guitar is both lightweight and lively, a hallmark of the Melody Maker line.
