SOLD!! 1970 Gibson Melody Maker 12-String

Comments Here’s a rare piece – a 1970 Gibson Melody Maker 12-String! Melody Makers were Gibson’s entry level instruments and lots were made, but the 12-string was not at all common. This example is in good playing condition and has no structural problems. Very cool!
