Scepter1987 Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Hello everyone, Im Scotty. My dad gave me his guitar ('59 Gibson Meoldy Maker) For my 21st birthday about 2 years ago. I havent messed with it because i need to rewire the guts. I have looked everywhere for some schematics for the melody maker and cant find what i need at all. It is a Single Pickup and has 2 knobs and an input jack. If anyone knows of or has a picture of the back part of the Pickguard and the wiring for it, it would help me out more than anything. I just want to wire it and hear the baby play. Any Help Guys? Thanks a Lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigKahune Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 My 65 MM was similar to the single scheme in Dem00n's link, but had the cap between the pots. And, the bridge anchor by the pots was grounded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oringo Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Check out this schematic: http://www.gibson.com/Files/schematics/Firebird1.PDF It's for a single P-90, but the basic scheme should be the same. Check if you have the original pots and cap, try to re-use them if they're not too damaged! Also you'll be able to see what the original resistance and inductance values are. I don't know if the original MM's came with 500k or 250k pots, or a mix like in this schematic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigKahune Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Check out this schematic: http://www.gibson.com/Files/schematics/Firebird1.PDF ... Nice. That's about how I remember my MM was wired - the cap between the pots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
