Description

This 1957 ES-125 is an excellent example of its kind, in great playing condition and largely original, aside from replaced tuners, bridge, and strap button, as well as the addition of a strap pin at the heel. Cosmetically, it has the character you'd expect from a guitar approaching its 70th year. Notably, there’s a gouge in the side near the end block and some areas where the binding has separated and been reglued. Acoustically, it’s very resonant and loud, and it truly shines when plugged in with its original P-90. A non-original hard shell case is included.

About ES-125

The Gibson ES-125 is noted for its warm, resonant sound and classic appearance. It features a maple body with a mahogany neck and a rosewood fretboard. This model is equipped with a P-90 pickup, which produces a rich, vintage tone ideal for jazz and blues.
