GIBSON ES-125

A go-to guitar for the blues, jump-blues, and rockabilly set, Gibson's 1950's ES-125 packs a lot of sonic punch into a tighter budget. A 16” non-cutaway full depth archtop, the ES-125 is tonally very much akin to a single-pickup ES-175. A dressed-down guitar without cutaway, a lot of players looking for vintage 175 neck pickup tone look to the 125 for a less expensive option.

This example is in really nice shape and packs a whole lot of sonic punch thanks to its hot P-90 pickup. Electronics are completely factory stock, and the guitar plays very well thanks to its recent Mikes Music set-up. The neck angle is excellent, frets are in great condition, and the bridge is well-fit. The finish is gorgeous, with a dark sunburst and not much in the way of wear. Tuners are modern replicas with original whitebuttons, the tailpiece isn't original to the guitar, but is a 60's part that looks great. Bridge, pickguard, nut, and frets are all original.

1-11/16” nut width, rounded full-feeling neck carve, 24.75” scale.
