Can't say for definite, but it's unlikely to be this year given that Gibson are also introducing the 'S' range, alongside the 'T' and 'HP'. This has some Les Paul like guitars at the same price point you'd see a Melody Maker model, so I don't think they'd flood us with another instrument at this finance level. It's possible that a special / limited run model might be coming out, but I highly doubt anything will be seen in the standard lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably get more value going to Epi than and "S" guitar. Want Gibson to comeout with discountinued models that people want. The only company that has a similar "Body" guitar is Slick/GuitarFetish but only in p-90 versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megafrog Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Gibson sort of released a new Melody Maker, the Gibson M2. This is an Amazon exclusive currently. They run $499. The guitar is part of the S series. I got an open box one in the Strawberry Milk color and I am way less than impressed. The bridge is horrid. The pickups are ProBuckers (Epiphone) and the hardware is poor. This is more like an Epiphone Les Paul Special II at four times the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't even know they made that model, if they bring back the Melody Maker it has to be like this: Probuckers don't compare to the raw tone of that single coil in the bridge.

Thinking about it but, nah, I have a Firebird and a LP standard, why bother downgrading though. The M2's aren't even on the website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
