Gib-Sunday - MM edition

I'm very happy playing a lesser known guitar. It's a firm indicator of not yielding to trends. This Gibson Melody Maker is a good example. Nobody would be motivated to spend good money on an estranged guitar with a missing tail piece; the reason it was listed for sale.

The usual let's re-string before playing routine. Not a Roto fan, this was purchased when Swee Lee had discounts for them. They are currently OK, unlike previous episodes of rust spots & oxidation even when purchased new.
