Playing this 2007 Gibson Melody Maker RI'59 with my 1965 Fender Band Master today.

That one was a gift from a friend, he plays in a punk band so the scars are the real Mc coy.Either you have a hard touch and play a LOT or that's relic'd...![]()
I buffed it hardRight, OK. Pretty intense for under 20 years, must have had a lot of fun. What set me off was the pristine shiny looking pickguard, haha!
