That and cars my friend. Nice stuff. I was thinking about picking up a Melody Maker myself. Great little guitars. I would prefer a vintage one but man, the new ones are below $400. A new Gibson for under $400! Wow.
Get one! The MM has blown me away. I highly recommend it, you can get so many tones from it and it's so simple. It's not as 'thick' as a humbucker, but it growls something mean, especially through the Champ. I got mine on the 'bay for $330. The only thing I would prefer is that it was a double cut but that's a nit pick. They got the '03-'05 ones right, the newer ones fall short.
