Description

This 1948 Gibson ES-125 exudes vintage charm, showcasing natural wear and mostly original components. The only replacements include tuner buttons, a new nut, a refret, a truss rod cover, and a pickguard mounting bracket. Notable repairs include a rewound P90 pickup, a re-welded tailpiece, and some expertly executed finish touch-ups on the bass side of the body. These restorations have been skillfully carried out, ensuring the guitar's playability for years to come. The original P90 pickup delivers outstanding tone, making this instrument a standout addition to any collection. Includes a non-original hardshell case.
