Super Rare in this Condition! Serial Number: 169064

The Gibson ES-120T is an ultra-lightweight, 1960s thinline hollow-body that punches well above its weight. Famous as the "gateway" vintage Gibson, it delivers woody, articulate tones via a unique, all-in-one modular pickguard. Weighing just around 5 lbs!

  • The "Jack White" Magic
    The ES-120T is famously the prized "one that got away" for rock icon Jack White. He has openly expressed deep regret for selling his original ES-120T as a teenager, citing the unique mojo and sonic versatility this model offers. Owning one gives you access to a legendary sonic secret weapon favored by garage-rock royalty.2. Featherweight, All-Day ComfortSay goodbye to back and shoulder fatigue. The 1.75-inch-thin fully hollow maple body is incredibly comfortable to play, whether you are lounging on the couch or gigging for three hours.3. Iconic "Kalamazoo" CraftsmanshipCrafted in Kalamazoo, Michigan during Gibson’s golden era, the ES-120T features a fast, comfortable mahogany neck and a bound rosewood fingerboard. Even as an entry-level student model at the time, it was built by the exact same luthiers using the same quality woods as Gibson’s flagship models.4. Plug-and-Play SimplicityThe ES-120T features a large plastic pickguard pod that houses the iconic Melody Maker-style single-coil pickup, along with the volume, tone, and output jack. This ingenious design means the body has no heavy routing—resulting in a highly resonant, acoustic-like tone when unplugged. Plugged in, it delivers a punchy, snappy, and articulate sound that rolls off beautifully into warm, jazzy tones.Who is this for?
  • The Vintage Purist: The ES-120T is one of the most affordable ways to own a 1960s Gibson. It provides authentic, vintage nitrocellulose lacquer and age-old wood that modern reissues simply cannot replicate.
  • The Player/Gigging Musician: The high clarity and note definition make it a fantastic guitar for blues, jazz, and indie rock.
