Thanks for all your comments. I really appreciate it I'll keep the price you've told me in mind this Friday. I didn't thought the guitar would be on such a low price range. I've never seen this guitar for less than 1000USD (condition: all original, except the bridge) on the internet. There are a lot of '65 MM's on the internet (reverb.com) but everyone starts around 1400USD. The most expensive that I've seen was around 2500USD... BTW What do you think about the reverb price guide on vintage guitars? Is it a useful tool to check out prices? And last but not least: Which guitar do you prefer? They are all really affordable vintage guitars. 1. Gibson Marauder (maple fretboard) 2. Gibson S-1 (maple fretboard) 3. Gibson Melody Maker 65 (cherry) 4. ?? another low cost vintage guitar?? Which one would be your favorit low cost guitar? Do you have one of these? Did you have one of these in the past? Are there more low cost vintage guitar models?

Hi folks, I've seen a gibson melody maker and have an appointment this friday with the guy who's selling the guitar. I just wanted to ask you for your opinions. What do you think about the guitar? How about their tone characteristic? What's the price range? What do you think about the tailpiece? That's not the original standard tailpiece that they used in 1965 right? Anything special to know about the melody maker? Thanks for your replies
