Extra pickup to Gibson Melody Maker- stupid idea?

There where 3 new GS's in Denmark St just before Xmas, and they had a couple of used as well. A friend in the office reckons that his GS was the best guitar he ever owned (or played).

Another option if you want mahogany is the Faded DC it's got twin 90s in place and feel closer to a LP than a SG.

cheers rob and Dave...

im gonna keep an eye out on their site from now until i get the cash. thanks for the link.

and Rob, yer i remember seeing them in soundcontrol once... think i might have tried one, cant quite remember...

very nice though... although the lack of a humbucker is still perhaps a little annoying.

london seems like the place to go to try one then i guess... doesnt seem to be any in Coda/Machinehead e.t.c....

hmm.

I have a custom ordered GS Graduate 60 and love it.

GS guitars can regularly be found on Ebay for a few hundred quid, so you could look out for a GS1 and add a humbucker and you'd be sorted :)
Selling lots of gear, enquire within!......
