This ES-125 is a fantastic player’s guitar, showcasing that iconic Gibson P-90 tone. Its sunburst finish has aged beautifully, with a warm patina and checking that only comes from years of play. The P-90 pickup delivers that classic bite, but it can easily be dialed back with the tone knob for a softer sound. It’s had a few updates over the years: the tuner buttons, nut, truss rod cover, tone pot, output jack, and knobs have all been replaced, and it has marks from a previous left-handed pickguard. The back was removed and carefully re-glued, and a crack was also repaired, ensuring it’s solid and ready to play.

With these thoughtful updates, this guitar plays beautifully, with smooth low action and a fantastic tone that’s sure to inspire. Comes with a non-original hardshell case.
