Gibson ES-125 Sunburst 1965

Gibson ES-125 Sunburst 1965

The ES-125, which was introduced in 1941 as the successor to Gibson's ES-100, was an entry-level archtop guitar at the time.The pre-war model, which was discontinued in 1942, features one "P-90" single-coil pickup in the neck position, single volume control and single tone control, featured a small 14.5-inch body.

The model, which reappeared in 1946, has a large body that is 16.25 inches wide, the same as the ES-150, and the rosewood fingerboard was originally decorated with a pearl trapezoidal inlay, but later changed to dot inlays.

This time we have a vintage 60s.This is the serial "276322" and the 1965 ES-125.

There are various specifications, such as the thinline model ES-125T and the ES-175, which has the option of adding a double P-90 pickup, using a sharp cutaway called the Florentine Cutaway, but the thinline and regular models were discontinued by the 1970s.

It has been around 60 years since its production, and taking this into consideration, it is in good playing condition.

As it stands, the pickup is probably the original, with the Pot Vol made in 1964, Tone not readable, and the capacitor is equipped with Sprague Black Beauty.

A gig bag will be included, but if you would like a hard case with the Gibson logo from the time (it is in poor condition and has a shortage of handle and a moldy smell), please write this in the notes section when purchasing and we will change it to that and ship it to you.

This guitar does not have a prominent range, making it a well-balanced guitar that is easy to use.The looks also have a vintage look and taste.At the moment, it is not difficult to play, and the magnitude of the raw sound and beautiful sound are truly the best thing about the ES-125.Recommended for those who are aiming for a full vintage acoustic guitar, why not carry on the history of this guitar?
