To a thin and lightweight yet extremely resonant mahogany body like Gibson’s original "student" model and the Melody Maker’s simplified hardware and control layout, the Jonas Brothers Melody Maker adds a traditional full—size headstock for increased resonance and strength, and the addition of a second P—90 single—coil pickup, as originally carried on the Melody Maker’s big brother, the Les Paul Special, along with other upgrades. To make it all stand out in pure Jonas Brothers style, all three brothers have hand—signed the pickguard and their trademark "JB" shield graphic adorns the front of the Satin White—finished body.

Body and Finish

The Jonas Brothers Melody Maker reveals its pedigree right out of the box, with a solid—mahogany body that offers all the depth and sweetness of this legendary tonewood. It is crafted in the image of the Les Paul Junior and Special of the ’50s, but with the slightly thinner dimensions of the original Melody Maker, and decorated in a Satin White finish with custom "JB" shield graphic.

Pickups and Electronics

The Jonas Brothers Melody Maker carries two of Gibson’s legendary P—90 "Soapbar" single—coil pickups, as originally seen on the Les Paul Junior and Special, and even the acclaimed "Goldtop" of the early ’50s. These are routed through a simple array of master volume and tone control and three—way toggle switch, for a no—nonsense performance with rock—solid power.

Hardware

The hardware set on the Jonas Brothers Melody Maker echoes the simplicity of the original Melody Maker, as well as that of other classic no—nonsense Gibsons like the Les Paul Junior and Special. A stud—mounted wraparound bridge/tailpiece anchors things at the body end, while a set of vintage white button tuners ensure precise and efficient tuning.
