The official "Melody Maker Reissue" was introduced in 2007. It is a reissue of the 1959 Melody Maker, with the same thin, solid mahogany body, and a one-piece solid mahogany neck with the traditional ’50s rounded profile and 22-fret rosewood fingerboard. The pickguard and electronics are period-correct, and the pickup is a special-design singlecoil.
