That looks like a very fun rocker. Congrats!
Finally found a source for this and ordered mine today. After a couple small mods I intend to gig this to death: Joan Jett Signature Melody Maker
That looks like a very fun rocker. Congrats!

For some reason I thought you ordered this already from Sweetwater.
Anyway, looking forward to hearing the reviews. Can you share what sort of mods you are looking to do?

Sweetwater didn't get any and couldn't even get a lead time on getting one... finally found one in North Houston.Originally Posted by just strum
They are a very cool looking guitar I gotta admit. What's even more outagous is that a guy my ages actually has a Runaway's album at home somewhere....
Hey brother what mods ya doing? I plan on ordering one soon..........hopefully.

Got mine at Fuller's Vintage Guitar... $6C's & change, free shipping, no tax. Should be here on Friday.
Gotta get it first... I want to try out a SD Hot Rail Stacked Single in it. I'll try out a few pup options.
Oh man I saw that git the other day and thought I would sure like to take that for a ride, wide open

Cool guitar by the way. I'm waiting to try one and will buy it too if I like it.

See current pics before mounting... lookin' a bit crackhoish these days:
is it just me or does the combination of unzipped pants and the screen behind her saying "insert disc" reveal some kind of cosmic irony......
Yeah, but I don't think she plays for that team... or so I've heard.Originally Posted by Ch0jin
Not that there's anything wrong with that (obscure Seinfeld reference). I still have a huge crush on her. She's my rock and roll goddess fantasy : Punk, leathers, guitars, all tatt'd up...

Yikes!... I'm sure there's an abundance of diseases out huntin' you down. Good luck with that.Originally Posted by stingx
Rocket,
Posting the pic of JJ took some of the sizzle out of the guitar.
I'm at work and can't post pics, but quick someone post a nice pic of a Melody Maker.
Must turn away.

I still really like her and think she could look really good, but she should not "try so hard" to hold on to that particular look. I also think the makeup resembles this lady:
This shot was taken while Joan was all over the airwaves back in the day.

Fortunately, it doesn't keep her from selling out & rockin' most venues! I'm still a fan!Originally Posted by just strum
I am sure it is still a great rockin' show. It isn't all about how you look in unzipped pants. I am excited for you to get that guitar and hear more about it too. It just looks like hard drivin' fun to me.
