1963 Melody Maker

Here's another vintage rock warrior from the collection of Kelly Peterson. This 63 melody maker is one of Kelly's oldest axes, & it's got the necessary mojo for ripping out old Thin Lizzy dueling melodies; thanks to the popular mods that now give it the updated sustain & intonation for rich lustrous soloing. It's truly a great guitar to fart around with, & the K-Man isn't looking to give it up soon. Why would he? You just don't see these for sale very often. Thanks for sharing Kelly! Here's some cool footage of K-Train jamming on some old Robin Trower that I found on YouTube.

1963 Epi Crestwood

Freak of the Week
Epiphone made some great quality guitars in the sixties, including this neck-thru beauty. Both style & playability were in check during this era, & there's nary a player out there who wouldn't appreciate this double cutaway gem. Looks a bit like an SG, & the stock custom Bigsby style wrap around tremolo is beautiful. How about that nicely finished clear plexi pick guard. I wish these were as easy to find as they were in the 70's. Got a cool axe like this? Send me a pic.
