Beautiful Gibson ES-125 with great action and a wonderful rich tone. Finish has beautiful checking that is consistent for a guitar of this age. However, it's been played over the years so it has its share of scratches & paint chips. I am not aware of any headstock or neck repairs, or any other structural concerns. The case seems to be original but it is bruised.

The ES-125 evolved out of the ES-100 in 1941 and was produced until 1943. Upon its reintroduction in 1946, the ES-125 changed in a number of ways including a wider body, a new P-90 pickup, and trapezoid inlays. The ES-125 was updated again in 1950 with an adjustable P-90 pickup and dot inlays. Through the '60s, a number of variations on the original ES-125 were produced including a version with cutaway (ES-125 C), thinbody versions (ES-125T or ES-125 TC), as well as versions with two instead of one pickup (ES-125 TDC or ES-125 CD).
Years of Production: 1941 - 1943, 1946 - 1970
