Offered for sale;

Used 1951 Gibson ES-125

This guitar is in very good condition. The neck and frets are fine, cosmetically quite clean. As with many of these archtops the wood around the output jack has been compromised. A piece of tortoise shell pick guard has been fitted to reinforce the area.

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. The ES-125 is single pickup archtop guitar with a laminated non-cutaway body. The top and back are maple, the sides and neck mahogany with raised tortoise pickguard, rosewood fingerboard, nickel hardware and finished in sunburst. This ES-125 weighs in at 5 lbs., features a scale length of 24.75" and has a nut width of 1 11/16".

This is a nice historical instrument that is ready to keep on delighting for time to come.

Original hard-shell case included.

*Please note: we do our best giving descriptions of used pieces. We have found it impossible to describe every mark on an instrument or amp that is not in the "mint" category. Also, what's important to you may not be important to someone else. 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. If you ask they will be answered. They are free and there's no limit. Additional photos can also be made available.
