Still overwhelmed by the huge tone Bill Steer gets from his Melody Maker. Yes - Melody Maker, that punitive Gibson singlecut revelling in starter-dom. As you can see here, it's modded to accommodate a pair of humbuckers; MMs do not feature that pickguard so we know it's a contemporary innovation. I totally understand how a simple, lightweight instrument would be the order of the day for constant live dates without taxing one's spine. Please hear it in action:

Pat Travers (who could/can throw down and shred with any of them) made his original reputation with a modded Melodymaker. /Users/pat/Desktop/Unknown.jpeg
Simplicity brings the best out of people, definitely.
