I love this: it even has "individual" tuners. As opposed to one big tuner I guess.

Comes with an instruction manual.

"Lefty" might have been a nice addition to the description, lest some noob righty should fall victim to an itchy "Buy It Now" finger.

The tuning is also "geared," as opposed to the kind of tuning machines where you just pull the string really hard and tie it around the post.

 

Oh man, I must have one...

Couldn't help but notice the description does not specify "left handed". Look at the picture. Someone could end up looking like a reverse-McCartney. I always kinda wanted one of those 41" guitars.

This one's even better, because it's a "round hole" guitar:

These are frickin' hilarious. That bridge is terrifying. I love where the description says, simply, "Back & Sides." Good to know these are included.

Says it has an "Elegant Headstock" and it may very well be the most basic headstock ever.

If I recall correctly, the original pre war Melody came with a square hole. The sound was a bit too boxy and the volume was too low.

 

So they replaced the square hole with a round hole and added sides and a back.

 

HUGE improvement.

I love the font used on the headstock logo, but where have I seen that before???? Oh yeah, garage sale signs....

I was noodling around in Daddy's Junky Music this weekend and they had a couple of used Esteban's for sale. They had the same kind of finish as that lovely Melody - a kind of indeterminate brown paint/stain that totally obscured any sign of what lay beneath. Coulda been made out of masonite for all I know. Just hadda pick one up and try it out. Needless to say the finish was not the only problem. Boy, I can't remember when I held a guitar that just felt so wrong - and I am not just talking about the 1/4" minimum action at the 12th fret.

The point is, I suppose, that although we are indeed living in "the golden age of guitars" there is still a hell of a lot of crap out there.

Hope this wasn't a thread hijack.
