Gibson Limited Edition Explorer Melody Maker, Satin White
— This new Gibson Melody Maker Explorer is a Satin White 6-String Electric Guitar, crafted in the indomitable style of a classic Gibson Explorer. With a nitrocellulose finish, select tonewoods and a genuine Gibson USA humbucking pickup, set-in neck, 24 3/4" scale length and 1 11/16" width at the nut. This is a classically styled guitar at a reasonable price.More details:
The solid maple body gives the Gibson Melody Maker Explorer outstanding clarity and sustain, and helps it retain sharp note definition even through a heavily cranked amp. The Melody Maker Explorer's glued-in neck is crafted from solid quarter-sawn mahogany for superior strength and resonance, and carved to a superbly fast yet comfortable "Melody Maker profile" that measures .835" at the 1st fret and .930" at the 12th.
In a contemporary departure from the norm, the fretboard of the Gibson Melody Maker Explorer is made from torrified maple, a heat-treated form of maple that has the rich brown look of rosewood but is superior in strength and durability, and totally sustainable besides.
Gibson USA loads the Melody Maker Explorer with one of its most versatile pickups: the single 491T humbucker in the bridge position is crafted in the image of Gibson's acclaimed PAF ("Patent Applied For") humbucker of the late '50s, but updated with a ceramic magnet for great power, clarity and sustain, and routed through a single volume control to keep it all simple.
Other features include a stud-mounted wraparound bridge at the body end, a set of enclosed tuners at the headstock and a PLEK-cut Corian nut for enhanced sustain and ultimate intonation precision. Since 1959 the Melody Maker series has brought full and uncompromised Gibson quality and tone to top-grade electric guitars priced for the student, novice, or the pro on a budget.
