Michael Clifford | Signature Melody Maker

Michael Clifford and Gibson have collaborated over the course of a few world tours to develop his signature model guitar. The Michael Clifford Melody Maker rocks a double cutaway Melody Maker design for rock solid playability as well as a classic, cool look.

The body is crafted of swamp ash for its resonant tonal characteristics and moderate weight. The rounded, maple neck profile provides incredible rigidity and sustain while imparting a smooth and comfortable feel. It features a black black Richlite fingerboard and signature red acrylic “X” inlays for fast and effortless playability.

The BurstBucker 3 Humbucker delivers a muscular PAF style voice in full humbucking mode and the push-pull volume control coil splits the Humbucker for a brighter, single voice. In addition to the tone control, the Kill Switch Toggle offers further tonal options and effects.

The distinctive Jet Black Cherry finish completes Michael’s vision of his signature guitar. The Michael Clifford Melody Maker is the perfect guitar for the player starting his first gig to rocking out stadiums and everything in between.

Michaels accent is so weird now lol, especially when you haven’t heard him speak since he had a full blown Aussie accent

[gracieharvey]

my new kink is Michael Clifford talking about guitars.

[AshToxin]

Michael, you have created a masterpiece.

[tomgeczy]

“I want this guitar to be someone’s first guitar.”
For the low-low price of $1399, it can be yours! Great entry-level instrument

[nicoleb]

I love everything about this! Especially a young man in one of the most successful modern bands saying the Joan Jett Melody Maker is the best guitar he has ever seen/played and he was inspired to make it his own.

[candymoneer]

When you can't play for your life but you still want it because *Michael. Freaking. Clifford.*

[emmaleigh]

I’m so happy for him! I’ve always loved the different styles of how a guitar can look and how many different types of music genre’s you can do by just being able to play guitar. I’m so proud of Michael and I love the way his mind and creativity works. Such a beautiful guitar Mike🖤

[OuterSpaceFangirl]

I don't have any knowledge about guitars but I could listen to Michael talking for hours, so proud of him ❤

[ivisnothere]

I am very proud of Mike and what he has achieved, I love him very much.💚

[ashleycho]

Y’all be calling out Michael for creating a signature guitar and stating that he wishes this to be someone’s first guitar for over $1, 300, but like if y’all would’ve been as successful as he is and created a signature guitar, y’all would’ve charged the same and “hoped” that it would be someone’s first guitar too, yo. Also, he didn’t price it, Gibson did so don’t call him out for it. Geez. Y’all always gotta find something to bitch about. 🙄

[FedericaFagnani.]

I didn't understand a word he said, because he's been so technical. But what i uderstood from this video is how he's so passionate about guitars. He's in his natural habitat. And honestly i don't care about anything else than than Michael's happiness 🔥🖤

[serena]

do i hear ghost of you playing in the background?

[punkrockmads]

This is insane!! They're accomplishing so much!! So proud of all of them!!

[Generatingmoments]

This guitar has the most Pop Punk inlays I've ever seen.

[coraliev]

I’m so proud of him, he’s a real inspiration

[abbybooth]

I really want to get this guitar for my sister because she always wanted an electric guitar and I know it would mean a lot to her. I would even use my graduation money for her

[dajoler]

Hope they release a more affordable Epiphone version later.


A good number of people who actually have the money to afford this probably don't listen to 5SOS. A lot of the band's fans are on the younger side, meaning that they're probably only just getting started with the guitar so a budget option might be something to think about for Gibson/Epiphone.

Guitar hero 2, the game that made real rockstars.

[bellea]

the way mike talks about the guitar so soulfully makes me want to learn about what everything is
