I love Joan Jett, but I have no love for Melody Makers.  :ph34r:

I saw her 2 weeks ago in NYC with Les Paul. She was very nervous (who wouldn't be?),
she sang tthe Mary Tyler Moore Show theme.

Same here. Try as I might, they just don't do it for me.

However, the idea of a Joan Jett signature melody maker is just another Gibson marketing scheme up there in the ranks of the billy joe armstrong les paul and the tom delonge whatever and the list goes on and on.
Whilst I abhor the idea of a sig. model for the most part -- the JV strat and Burton std. tele  are two MIM exceptions -- I think Gibson's putting out a Joan Jett sig. should be applauded. I don't think it should be lumped in the same category as the TD or BJA sig. models.

Now, if Gibson would put out a Cheetah Chrome sig. MM and a Johnny Thunders sig. LP Jr. -- at a reasonable price like the JJ MM -- then I would consider forgiving them for all of their overpriced shite. Okay, I'd only consider the forgiveness...

...I'd still hold it against them  :D

Edit: I had to include a clip of Joan rawkin' the original.
