Comparing to other guitars in its range this is an absolute must have! SG Melody Maker is a perfect choice for musicians seeking a guitar in this price range. If you give it a shot, you won't be sorry and surely you'll fall in love with this Gibson's beauty in no time.

Feature-wise this guitar is perfect! There is no need to add or remove anything, and that is quite an achievement by Gibson, considering that it's quite hard to please every musician's desire, in order to grade an instrument such as SG Melody Maker with such a high score when it comes to guitar features. That means that Gibson has constructed more or less a guitar with perfect features, so if you decide to buy SG Melody Maker you will be more than happy with it.

This beauty has virtually no flaws. Gibson surpassed their traditional level of quality and produced an instrument that is built great, and built to last. The finish is amazing and the hardware easily adjustable to fit any kind of action. The neck is superb and smooth while playing. SG Melody Maker stays in tune 99% of the time and responds well to various playing styles.

SG Melody Maker is a reliable guitar that will go to hell and back with you, and would want to do it again. It's a magnificent instrument that is reliable on stage as it is in studio. It will stand the beating and still would not lose its charm and ability to perform. Gibson did make the instrument that should be considered the most reliable in its class!
