A Melody Maker in this condition with THAT tailpiece is rare guys.
Leslie West (Mountain) played the hell out of one of these.

Leslie West played the Les Paul Juniors. He preferred the single cutaway as the neck was more stable. Joan Jett plays a modified Melody Maker.
I had a red one just like this that I convered to lefthanded and added two humbuckers, and a dual pickguard back in 1974. I traded it in on my Sho-Bud LDG.

True that, but when I saw him at a show here in Columbus he did the whole show on a single pup MM and he got a lotta rock n roll out of it. He said he was traveling light :)
