Description

This 1952 Gibson ES-125 shows the clean, understated design that made Gibson’s early archtops such enduring instruments. Built with a fully hollow body and mahogany neck, it delivers the warm, woody resonance characteristic of this era. The single P-90 pickup offers a focused, articulate tone that responds beautifully to touch and dynamics. This example has been thoughtfully maintained with a refret done by our in-house repair team and does have a replacement set of tuners. Otherwise it remains all original and a great example of this early Gibson student model in good cosmetic condition with finish dings typical of age.

Includes modern hard shell case.
