Stumbled upon these over at Musicians Friend:





They're also making the usual melody maker with a humbucker as part of this series. They are all retailing for $539. I think they would all look better with three-ply pickguards, but that wouldn't be too tricky of a switch.

Solid ideas, just not executed very well in my opinion.

I dig that SG Melody Maker and I already have two SG-shaped guitars..

I seem to like the Flying V more and more, while at first I never liked Flying V's

There is something about the V that speaks to me, and I'm not a pointy guitar guy.

So where is the Beiber signature on these?

what scale are they?.... they look small from the pics.
i dig the wrap around bridges....

if only i were working, i'd get one of those SGMMs, swap the pickguard, put a single soapbar P90 in and Live at Leeds until the cows came home

They're all 24.75. Here the link: http://community.musiciansfriend.com/co ... imited-run

I agree dubkitty, it would be awesome to throw a p90 into these and get that junior vibe flowin.

the one big flaw is the jack placement, but that's possible to work around. i can hear people crying about the knob being "in the way when i strum" all the way from Nashville, though i personally like the idea of a volume knob where i can actually use it for swells without disjointing my right hand.

I have been wanting a white explorer for a looooong time, but those head stocks just kill me. I have played the LP style MM'sand they sound dead 8 (


The more I see it the more I want it though.

These rule.

I've always wanted a white Explorer too, and while I feel like I should hate these...something about the combo of that pickguard and headstock on a white one really does it for me. Exciting yet wrong at the same time.

As I've said here before, I find it very interesting that Gibson continues to offer more and more sub-$1000 guitars while it seems the newly introduced fenders are only getting more expensive. These Gibsons don't necessarily interest me much but its cool to see something bearing the Gibson name on the headstock being so affordable.
