swamprock Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 http://grandrapids.craigslist.org/msg/3271595423.html Considering checking this out. Did some reading about them and they've got an interesting history. The price is $150. So what do you guys think... good deal or no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSAR Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 For $150, I'd have that already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jfine Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Those came out in the mid-'60's. The first ones had a body shape that resembled the Fender Mustang--the SG-shaped ones didn't come out until about '67. The only ones I've ever seen, of either shape, had either one or two single-coil pickups, similar to the ones used on Gibson Melody Makers, but with white covers. Body finishes were red, white, or blue, with white pickguards. I've never seen a black one, or one with a humbucker, but then I've never seen one that late, either--I didn't know those were produced into the '70's. That one is strung wrong, too--the strings are supposed to feed through the bridge from the front (pickup) side and wrap over, hence the term "wrapover bridge".

Notes_Norton Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I'd like it, because it is so unusual, but I'd put a P90 on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EpiEric Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 The bass player in the first band I was ever in back in '85 had a Kalamazoo bass. It was the SG body style in red. It was actually a pretty decent sounding bass. I think these have the same pickups as an EB-0. Jfine do you know if the guitars actually have the same pickups as a Melody Maker with different covers, or were they just similar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swamprock Posted September 20, 2012 Author Share Posted September 20, 2012 Unfortunately, I missed out on it. I was going to grab it but someone beat me to it. Oh well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
