“I’ve been in a lot of punk, rock ’n’ roll and garage bands and that was at the forefront of a lot of that – it cut through with single coils,” says Brandy. Gibson launched the student-grade line with Melody Makers in 1959, with a single-cut slab body 1 3/8-inch deep with an unbound rosewood fingerboard and a 2 1/4-inch headstock lacking the ‘wings’ of most Gibson electrics.
