The main differences are the pick combination and the bridge:
A normal Les Paul has two humbuckers while the melody maker usually has just one or two singlecoils thus giving it a more steely,strat like tone.Newer models have a P94 Pickup which is more like a humbucker than a singlecoil.
The Les Paul has a two peice bridge which includes a stop tail and the tune-o-matic bridge.The Melody maker hast a wrap around bridge which is made of just one piece.

No. All the Gibson-branded guitars, be it a $480 Melody Maker or a $15k artist signature Les Paul, were/are made in the USA. I think their sub brand guitars, including those that are sold at Walmart, are manufactured outside the US and some of them may well be made in China.

Gibson Melody Makers are purchasable through many retailers. Most people purchase them online at the Gibson website. This model of the Gibson Melody Maker is also purchasable at music stores such as Guitar Center.

In L7 she switched between a Gibson and Epiphone Flying V, although she would often record with Suzi Gardner's Melody Maker. In the Stellar Moments she played a Melody Maker that apparently was an old guitar of one of the members The Hangmen.
