  • Description: Up for sale is one used 1955 Gibson ES-125 Vintage Hollowbody electric guitar in good condition and perfect playing order. This great vintage guitar features a sunburst finish, arched Maple top and back, Maple sides, Mahogany neck with Rosewood fingerboard and original P-90 pickup. The neck has a full-feeling C-profile that'll please enthusiasts of Gibson's larger necks. The nut width is 1 5/8". It's been a player's guitar from the beginning and has seen quite a bit of use. The frets are in perfect condition as they are brand new. The body is in great shape and appears to have no cracks or evidence of cracking. The main issue of note is the neck at the body joint where the neck appears to have been broken and repaired. There is also a small hole, probably used for a strap button, that was filled at some point. Neither of these issues appear to affect the guitar's structure. There is a copious amount of finish checking on the neck and body giving it a great vintage vibe - common for older instruments. At the top of the neck, in the photos it looks to have the "smile" from being broken, but it's just finish checking. Because of its history of use, this guitar is well broken-in and really a great vintage jazz guitar, especially for the price!
