*It is our policy to require a signature on delivery of all musical instruments. Please ask if it is still available before purchasing. It is possible that it has just been sold. This is a specific item that is also being offered for sale in our brick & mortar location. Additional photos can also be made available. For example, you may say, 'I don't care what it looks like as long as it plays or sounds well.' Another person may say, 'Body cosmetics are very important to me so tell me about every scratch, nick and blemish.' So, please ask the questions that are most important to you. Also, what's important to you may not be important to someone else. We have found it impossible to describe every mark on an instrument or amp that is not in the 'mint' category. *Please note: we do our best giving descriptions of used pieces.

This is a nice historical instrument that is ready to keep on delighting for time to come. This ES-125 weighs in at 5 lbs., features a scale length of 24.75' and has a nut width of 1 11/16'. The top and back are maple, the sides and neck mahogany with raised tortoise pickguard, rosewood fingerboard, nickel hardware and finished in sunburst. The ES-125 is single pickup archtop guitar with a laminated non-cutaway body. The ES- 125 was introduced in 1941 and then discontinued in 1943 (with very few produced), in 1946 Gibson decided to reintroduce it until 1970. A piece of tortoise shell pick guard has been fitted to reinforce the area. As with many of these archtops the wood around the output jack has been compromised. The neck and frets are fine, cosmetically quite clean. either away, they can be great guitars, and even though many have tried to duplicate them, they are unique.This guitar is in very good condition. I also see them, time to time on craigslist, so you can actually go and play one before buying. Do some research, there are plenty on ebay, i including the T TC TDC models. If money wasn't an issue, and concerns of getting ripped off, cause they sell at more than twice what they pay for it, i would have gotten it. It had the mojo that only a guitar of its age can produce. Is it the original tail piece? pick guard? Was the neck re glued?Įither way, I tell you this. I am not the pro on this, so i hesitatd]ed to even make an offer. The tuners deterioate, the bodies check, the soundboard can collapse inward, and they are none for necks having to be redone, reglued. After watching these on ebay for over a year, in playable condition, I have seen them go for 750, the closer to original it is, price goes up.
