Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Very Good
We were instantly amazed at the condition of this beautiful 70 year old guitar! This axe has been lovingly maintained and cared for and appears to be 100% original. The tone is sweet and unmistakable and the decades have broken in the sound and the feel in a way you just can't fake.
SP Luthier Notes: Setup confirmed
From Gibson Guitars
the ES 125 was reintroduced in 1946 as a 16 inch guitar built with a laminated body. The model was modified in 1950 and subsequently cataloged right through the end of the 60's as the budget item in the hollow body electric line.
