Again, this is an all original instrument and is a piece of extremely well preserved history.What makes this guitar special: A textbook example of a player’s guitar, this ES-125 shows its fair share of playwear and scars, but still gets the job done. The entire guitar from structure and appearance to electronics has been inspected, and has been cleaned and polished to the perfect original luster.

GIBSON ES 125 1940S SERIAL
This period of Gibson 125 models did not have serial numbers. The headstock has the thicker early “Gibson”logo. The sound, plugged into both vintage and modern amps is amazing. This style was only used on these models from 1940-1943. It was one of the first individual pole adjustable pickups for each string, setting the standard for that period. The pickup is an early transition from the Charlie Christian pickups of the 1930’s. The action is low, and with the wider early neck she's loads of fun to play. The fretboard is Brazilian rosewood with plenty of fret left at all levels.

The body's depth gives a full resonance, not achieved on some of the shallower, later models of the ES. The neck is mahogany and straight as an arrow. This beautiful guitar has a maple back and sides and a beautiful sunburst spruce top. No cracks, a relatively minor scratch on the front just above the pickup which has been professionally matched and touched up with the proper nitro cellulose (you have to have it in just the right position to even see where it was) and very minimal crazing anywhere on the guitar. This is an extremely well cared for guitar. This is an amazing example of one of the first successful ES (Electric Spanish) guitar models ever made, and may be one of the best-preserved models of its kind left standing from that 1940’s period. They are easy to spot the ES-125TC and TDC are the only guitars in. Thinline ES-125s were available from 1960-1970 this is a fairly early one. All ES-125TCs were produced at the Gibson plant in Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA. THIS is a real pristine piece of history, this is the one for you. This 1962 ES-125 TC is one of 655 made in that year.
