Gibson SG Melody Maker

The Gibson SG Melody Maker is an electric guitar made with a Gibson SG-style body, manufactured by Gibson Guitar Corporation between 1966 and 1971 when it was discontinued.

In this 1981 photo from rehearsals for the Abacab tour, Mike Rutherford is spotted playing a Gibson SG Melody Maker 12-string guitar, one with a gold/bronze-type finish. However, there’s no record of this guitar being used on tour as such.

The same guitar was sold in 2001 as part of a clear-out of the equipment barn.
