Manimal Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 hello everyone, Now don't get the wrong idea. Joan Jett is not my idol, yes I am a dude, and overall this is a pretty sweet axe IMO. Check out the new Joan Jett Melody Maker DC with HSC. http://www.gibson.com/en-us/Divisions/Gibson%20USA/Products/Designer/Joan-Jett-Melody-Maker/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlekenny Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 wow, that actually looks like it would be pretty fun to play, I wouldnt mind having one. Does anyone know how much it will cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaphod B Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Hey, now, that's sweet. The Gibson web site states an msrp of $839. Take off 1/3 to get it down to street price and that comes to $560. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manimal Posted June 6, 2008 Author Share Posted June 6, 2008 It's pretty awesome! Did you guys check out the specs? Double cut, BB3 at the bridge, tone and volume witch-hat knobs, kill-switch positioned by the knobs, ebony fretboard, worn white, grover tuners, worn white finish, HSC. Pretty sweet!!! The MSRP is $839 so I imagine the sale price will be around $675 give or take a bit. I actually don't even really like Joan Jett but this is a pretty interesting axe! I love melody makers and Jr.'s!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Plains Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Less than $839. Gibson's prices on their website are always over what they go for in store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manimal Posted June 6, 2008 Author Share Posted June 6, 2008 any word when this one becomes available? I'm not sure. I seriously might buy it though. I was thinking about getting one of the regular SC MM's or maybe the Nashville DC Jr. if I could find one, but this is like a combo of both almost with an Ebony board and comes with the case. I need this broad's signature guitar!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibson CS Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 idk about this one............................ but i love rock and roll but ill keep my dimes for a R8 lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cvansickle Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Where Joan is concerned, I don't know if this model qualifies as a "chick" guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Martin Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 I am totally stoked about this model. Stripped down, no BS, and certainly one of the more unique shapes Gibson has that you don't see every day. Screw the regular Melody Makers! TOTALLY getting one.

RichCI Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Where Joan is concerned' date=' I don't know if this model qualifies as a "chick" guitar.[/quote']Agreed. Joan Jett is no "chick;" she's a rocker through and through. It's a very cool guitar; the only thing that would give me pause is that is has just one pickup. That's fine with Joan Jett's brand of rock and roll but I find that I don't pick up my SG Junior that often because it has only one sound - it's a helluva sound, but I tend to switch around a bit.

retrosurfer1959 Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 A melody maker with a single BB and Joan Jet's guitar to boot there's several teenage fantasy from 20+ years ago all wrapped up in one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooperoni Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Joan Jett is HOT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cudamax2343 Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 SHE IS HOT, and with an uncovered burstbucker III that should be hot too. I tell-ya some thing about a chic that can play or drive a stick shift car that does it for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where I have an 06 Standard that covers quite a bit of ground, this thing is an all-out stripped down rocker that you won't have to worry about it gettin' beat on. Probably highly playable with that worn finish. And again, comes with a hard case!!! From what I've been told yesterday, Gibson has allready shipped the first batch, so chances are they will start showing up within the next couple of weeks!!! My stupid quest and GAS obsession for this guitar is official. I am buying this, period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
