The SG guitars were proving very popular at this time, especially amongst younger players, and Gibson responded by adding more SGs to the range, starting with the Melody Maker, but also including the previously Mustang-shaped Kalamazoo KG guitars.
This was the first catalog to show the the Melody Maker with the SG body shape. Previous catalogues have shown it with single cutaway (1960) and double cutaway (1962, 1964) body.
1966 US zone 1 prices for these guitars were: SG Special $225, SG Junior $169.50 and Melody Maker D $179.50 respectively (single pickup Melody Makers cost $149.50).
